同学是这样的,我的意思不是说倒装都是表象。只不过,和being一样,这些问题是gmat语法中较难figure out的问题,因为gmac并没有给我们更清楚的线索说什么能用什么不能用。在处理这道题的情况下,我认为避开倒装来想问题比较好。 首先,我们来看补出助动词,补不补出先不提,至少补出的助动词应该是be动词,所以CD的选项不能认同。然后再看ABE,what可以指代的东西很多,先留着B选项。看E选项,原句的结构是patterns of stress,而这里是stress patterns,这两个概念不能simply认为是同一个概念,可以说带来了歧义。 而AB的PK中,看结构,前面是ptterns of stress that girls experience, than作为比较结构后面的those指代plural的ptterns of stress,还原成:ptterns of stress that boys experience,相比之下B的what boys experience是没有A选项这样更好的并列结构的。 对于倒装,我不考虑,因为这里的are的补出无论在前在后都起到了一个减少ambigutiy的作用,使得我们能更清楚的知道是boys和girls所experience的patterns of stress在进行比较。 这是我的思路。
