885=1=22

22.   According to Henry David Thoreau, the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger.

(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger

(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger

(C) the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger

(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right（B）

(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

B

1．A 代词指代歧意it 可以指代reason 也可以指代a majority所以出现歧亿?叉掉

2．The reason why……is that ……G中可以用嘛？是否语义重复？AE

mm不要哭，这2天大家忙着听大牛shinogigi教导。建议你也看看shinogigi的帖子。

885-A和885-1不是一回事，题号要标对，方便xdjm查询。

(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger

第一个it可能指reason，majority和不定式to be right, 所以看到it作主语要小心，因为it可能作形式主语。

正式文体中，the reason和定语从句间必须用关系代词why或that，非正式用语中可省略关系代词。GMAT只考正式文体。

The reason why……is that ……G中可以用，但是but后面还有一个because。
