虽然第一次做错了, 但通过意义对称as well as形式对称, 承认A是最优. 但看下一句:
OG106. The decision by one of the nation’s largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.
(A) increasing the pressure
(B) the increasing pressure
(C) increased pressure
(D) the pressure increased(C)
(E) the pressure increasing
关键在OG的解释:
The best answer will complete the phrase could mean less lending with a construction that is parallel to less lending. Here less is an adjective modifying lending, which functions as a noun in naming a banking activity. C, the best choice, parallels this adjective + noun construction with increased [adjective] pressure [noun]. Choice A violates parallelism by introducing a phrase in place of the adjective + noun construction. Choices D and E also fail to parallel the adjective + noun construction. In choice B, the definite article the needlessly suggests that some previously mentioned type of pressure is being referred to, and increasing implies without warrant that the increase has been continuing for some indefinite period of time, not that it occurs as a consequence of the bank’s decision.
问题 : OG106因为用了现在分词而否定B, 可大全784的A也是现在分词, 难道就有warrant? 我没看出来.
