1.        According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice（C）

(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

我选的是D，答案为什么是C呢，难道 FOUR TIMES 后 可加AS 而不是 MORE 吗，我是个菜鸟，希望大家解答一下，谢了：）

這題和SC大全 #42 一樣
我也對這題困淢了很久, 不知底應選four times more likely than (A/B) or four times as likely as (C) - A 和B 的"four times" 跟"more" 不知 是否redundant. 但看這過很多討倫後, 應選 likely to + <verb>. likely in placing 是unidiomatic. 我 GWD 中 answer 是 A, but I think correct answer=C.

不好意思, I mean 這題 = GWD 10-1
