OG103

The development of a new jumbo rocket that is  expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration  will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost

B The development of a new jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration and be able to deliver load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle

C The new development of a  jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration,will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle

D A newly developed jumbo rocket , which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration ,will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle can , and at a lower cost

E  A newly developed jumbo rocket , which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration ,will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and to cost less

答案是D  虽然A B C E都有很明显的错误

但是D里which从句就近修饰 jumbo rocket   ， jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration 逻辑意思合理吗？应该是The new development is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration 吧？？

就近修饰 并非 最近修饰

我想这样讲会比较简练。

 jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration

弱弱的问下 这句的意思 是不是  这个特大号的火箭被期望（可以）把美国带到它的下一个空间探索的时期？

火箭能carry the United States 吗？为什么这不算不符逻辑 尽管有点中文里比喻象征的手法

虽然中文理解没问题

但有时我觉得跟GMAC的思维方式太怪了

有的句子从中文角度理解没问题 但GMAC就是认死理 觉得句意不符逻辑

象这句有点类似于中文的比喻的手法 它又觉得可以

搞的自己也不知道该不该认死理 钻牛角尖了

谢谢MM那么晚还回复我的帖子

我的意思是  用development作主语 这个火箭的发展被期望将美国带到它的下一个空间探索的时期  句意不是更合理吗

这本身就是个全划线的句子 改变原句的主语使句意更清晰合理也是可以的吧？

 A newly developed jumbo rocket 被期望带领美国进入下一个太空勘测阶段，个人觉得语义上逻辑上是没有错的啊 ，carry 的动作发出者是不是应该是一个具体的事物？如果是development，个人觉得语义含糊。而且不能与 space shuttle 对等。

GMAT里面的选项没有100%的正确，只有优与不优，好与不好。

我 也 想 问 下：那个cost less不是跟deliver平行，那它是 跟谁平行呢？为什么不可以用TO呢 ，，

我觉得属于补充说明吧

也许不是所有的and都表示并列
