(A) more than when retiring

(B) more than if they were to retire

(C) more so than those who retired

India, like Italy and China, has no single dominant cuisine:  Indian food comprises many different styles of cooking, with each a product of their regional influences, from the fiery vegetarian dishes of the south to the Portuguese-influenced Goan cooking of the west, to the more familiar Mogul food of the north.

(A) with each a product of their

(B) with each as a product of its

(C) each products of their

(D) each a product of

In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.

(A) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle

(B) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling

(C) most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling

(D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle

(E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling

C 请问是怎么知道most of是插入语的啊？就是因为prep中说的两个逗号之间可以的省略的部分吗？插入语如何判断？

我选的是D，认为circle谓语形式复数是为了和前面的planets保持一致。mostly作副词有什么问题啊？

As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years, Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.

(A) As the former

(B) The former

(C) Former

(D) She was

(E) As the

E。不理解为什么former会28years或者attended矛盾，只是说她是前任而已啊？我选A

谢谢解答！

我试试解释下吧

114.是省略了which was 因为more是形容词，定语从句中过去分词和形容词前的which/that be等都可以省略

116.这里错在用了两个独立主格 要么用with 要么用each 独立主格结构中两个是不能同时出现的

133.我觉得这个貌似不是插入语吧 XDF老师这样说的（仅供参考）：

插入语是在主语和谓语之间的用两个逗号隔开的，或者是双破折号中间的部分也是 插入语的使用还是很严格的，不能乱用

 most of them at least as large as Jupiter 这是非限定性定语从句  双逗号部分一般不影响阅读 没有语法错误的话可以跳过

这题你的想法有两个错误：1.mostly副词作状语 修饰的是动词 记住一点：文中的形容词和副词是不能随意改变的 要不然修饰对象也会改变

                          因为形容词修饰的是名词 副词修饰的是动词 对象变了含义也就变了 你可以多读读翻译一下就明白了

                        2.Jupiter, which circle   which这里也是非限 定语从句很少跳跃修饰的 通常我们会先看成是修饰紧邻名词。

                          这题的问题主要还是副词修饰错误 关于这里不是错误点 因为也是可以的

159.Longman上关于former的解释是：happening or existing before, but not now & having a particular position in the past

所以former意味着过去发生的事，但是现在不存在了。是很明显的过去意味。

而本题中后面又重复表达了过去的含义 所以former在这里是累赘了

用中文想想看：作为以前的主席，**以前做了什么什么 这样是不是很罗嗦 错误在于不简洁
