OG12--43，50

OG12

43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.  E


(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s land area, but in Laos
with a population of only four million people, many of them


(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom



我选C，OG中说them指代不清，不是指代laos的 four million people?难道whom比them好？还是因为用了with 导致表达很wordy？



50. According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.

这是一个正确的句子，但是我不理解 had feared,我觉得过去式 feared就可以了?

og12-43
C中whom即可以指代four million people，也可以指代members of hill tribes ，混乱了，同时many of them是个句子，和前句犯了run-on的错误
E中whom是先行词，只能指代 four million people
这个句子用了2个平行结构
43.Laos has a land area comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people,many of whom are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
平行结构，宾语平行，意思转折

谢谢楼上的，能不能解释一下50题

50题，与过去是比，过去完成时多了一层持续的意思。持续到股民看到growing confidence这个现象的出现。不是怕了一下就完了。而是一直担心害怕，知道看到市场信心恢复的轨迹。

谢谢，我明白了

个人感觉50题中had feared 和feared都可以，过去完成时强调这种恐惧已经结束了，过去式表示这种恐惧发生在过去，og里面也没有讲过去式不可以，
比如og12-74：
74.A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
og解释就讲are allowed 表示这句话的时候还生效，were allowed这句话的时候失效了，这两个都是可以的

恕我愚钝，不好意思，能请教一下吗？你给出的这两个例子不是一模一样的吗？怎么能揣摩出一个意思转折了，一个没有呢？求赐教

我明白43题的C选项many of them是run-on sentence，但是为什么them可以指代members of hill tribes??请赐教~~
