9. In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow huge sums of money to buy companies, hoping to pay off the debt by using the company’s earnings and to profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions. (A) by using the company’s earnings and to profit (B) by using the companies’ earnings and by profiting (C) using the companies’ earnings and profiting (D) with the company’s earnings, profiting (E) with the companies’ earnings and to profit 答案是E,我选了a,这里为是么不可以用by using而用的
15. Under the 1986 tax law, interest payments on a refinanced home loan are deductible only if the amount of the loan does not exceed the purchase price of the home, the cost of improvements, and any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses. (A) any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses (B) borrowing any additional amount against the home for payment of medical or educational expenses (C) also borrowing any additional amount against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses (D) any additional payment of medical or educational expenses that were borrowed against the home (E) any additional payment borrowed against the home for medical or educational expenses 答案是A,我选了D,请问D错在哪些地方？
a) any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses 的意思是： 以及任何用房屋抵押举借的、用于支付医疗或教育费用的任何额外的金额。 意思非常清晰。
但D any additional payment of medical or educational expenses D中，that were 中的were 有问题（应该为WAS），因为从逻辑上说that were borrowed against the home修饰的应该是additional payment。 (D) any additional payment of medical or educational expenses that were borrowed against the home
d'accord! very cool, gemj! 1, i don't see any big problem with 'by using', although 'with' reads perfect. any explanation? 2, right, u don't borrow 'payment', but 'amount of money'
