A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
B. After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a while dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole.
C. After passing through a red giant stage, a star’s mass will determine if it compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
D. Mass determines whether a stare, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron, or a black hole.
F.    The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron, or a black hoel.
Ans: D, I choose A

为什么D比A好,A比D简洁啊?

谢谢.

应该是避免demanding mass引起歧义
相对于句意，简洁只能往后了

嗯，我觉得可以从句子的意思上来理解，这句话明显是在说mass决定了……。而a选项里的举子结构则把depeng on mass当作一个从属的结构了，根本无法把句意清楚的表达，所以不好。

什么depending on mass，容易有争议...

carefield

我觉得这题的考点在:
1. 主语的选择, 用MASS OR STAR, 从句意上用MASS 更简单, 有力, 因为用V-DETERMINE
事实上A 中DEPENDING 的主语应是前面的正句话意思, 而不是STAR.

2.状语的问题, 在A中, AFTER 之后的IT 指代有问题, STAR OR BLACK HOLE?  DEPENDING 修饰AFTER... 还是 主句? AFTER 做整句的状语是不妥的;

depending on mass修饰pass through ，对吗？

sunder

“what" depends on mass?
fact (that a star will...) needn't depend on any condition. it just happens.
some uncertain stuff, such as "whether...", need to depend on something, because this stuff might evolve to this or that outcome. and the outcome depends.

put it short,
given presence of choice D, the illogical choice A is far from preferable.

A的问题很多，从结构上来说这种带有代词（且指带主语）的时间状语从句一般放在句首
；从细节上，分词的用法很灵活，这种用法讲的通但是精确程度上，没有D好。如果没有D，A把时间状语的问题解决了，A就是答案。

张兄所言极是，还是一个“比”字。
若是能把gmat的语法规则固化成思维习惯，考试应该轻松多了。

depending on mass 放在句尾修饰对像不明确，可修饰red giant stage，也可修饰 a start，容易引起歧意。
