Medicare, the United States government's health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, covers the full cost of home health care, but not with other nonhospital services where 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries.
GWD17-Q21: Medicare, the United States government’s health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, covers the full cost of home health care, but not with other nonhospital services where 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries.
A. but not with other nonhospital services where 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries B. but not of other nonhospital services, making beneficiaries pay 20 percent of the costs making逻辑主语是other C. !but not of other nonhospital services, for which beneficiaries must pay 20 percent of the costs D. which is unlike other nonhospital services in that 20 percent of the costs must be paid by beneficiaries E. which is unlike other nonhospital services that make beneficiaries pay 20 percent of the costs B为什么不对呢?
我也是整理了句子框架才发现的:Medicare covers the cost of A, but not of B, making beneficiaries pay 20 percent of the costs.making的发出者同主句动作的发出者Medicare.句意不通。
而C选项“,for which” which必须指代comma前的名词nonhospital services 于是对。
(1)Manhattan5 on page25说过,原句有情态动词一般不能省略,否则会改变句子的意思;
(2)我百度了一下,-ing跟在系表结构后面,就近修饰名词;跟在主谓宾结构后面,表示伴随结果。这里B选项是主谓宾结构,可以表示伴随的结果,但是改变了意思,成了Medicare covers这个事making beneficiaries;而C选项for which beneficiaries must pay 要表达为了Medicare covers这个事才必须pay。
不知道有没有说清楚,不对的请后来者指正
GMAT语法中常常考查前一个分句的整体对后面一个对象的作用结果,一般认可的正确答案是使用现在分词做伴随状语。...... 所以我们在以下两个情况下要使用伴随状语 1. 前一个分句的整体对后面某一个对象的作用 2. 两个同时发生的动作 ,补充主语的动作 一、 正向考法 正向考法就是要你识别出前一个分句是从整体上对后一个分句的宾语发生作用。例如: He scored 100, making him the best student. 这里的making动作的逻辑主语就是前一个分句的整体。既不是前分句的主语也不是前分句的宾语,所以只可以使用伴随状语。 ......"
而B选项的错误在于make beneficiaries pay 20percent of the costs 是错误的,没有make sth do....的用法: make短语: Make it adj. (to do) Make sth. Adj. Make (doing) sth. Adj. Make N1 N2

反驳呢~~~有make somebody do sth的用法呢。 我也选的B,觉得ing作状语很顺的。。。 后来仔细看看,which指代nonhospital services是best的,没有歧义。
