38: GWD-29-Q35

In Patton City, days are categorized as having heavy rainfall (more than two inches), moderate rainfall (more than one inch, but no more than two inches), light rainfall (at least a trace, but no more than one inch), or no rainfall.  In 1990, there were fewer days with light rainfall than in 1910 and fewer with moderate rainfall, yet total rainfall for the year was 20 percent higher in 1990 than in 1910.

If the statements above are true, then it is also possible that in Patton
                City

A.    the number of days with heavy rainfall was lower in 1990 than in 1910

B.    the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was the same in 1990 as in 1910

C.    the number of days with some rainfall, but no more than two inches, was higher in 1990 than in 1910

D.    the total number of inches of rain that fell on days with moderate rainfall in 1990 was more than twice what it had been in 1910

E.     the average amount of rainfall per month was lower in 1990 than in 1910

The Answer is A but I think it should be D. No clue...

这题曾被堪称gmat里变态题往前数的!朋友,这边是语法专区...

其实是这么个问题!虽然它的下小雨和中雨的天数要少很多,但是在下雨量确定区间里面,1900的小雨和中雨要比1910的下的要大!

至于d!如果中雨在1到2之间,而且1900比1910下雨的天还少,怎么可能蹦出两倍来啊?所以只有1对!注意他问的是possible的,即解释的通的!
