2.     Judge Lois Forer’s study asks why do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among rich and poor.

(A) do some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among

(B) some litigants have a preferred status over others in the use of a public resource, the courts, which in theory are available to all but in fact are unequally distributed between

(C) do some litigants have a preferred status over another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact are unequally distributed among

(D) some litigants have a preferred status to another in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact not equally distributed between（B）

(E) does one litigant have a preferred status over the other in the use of a public resource, the courts, in theory available to all but in fact they are not equally distributed among

正确答案B, 为什么D不对？ 难道词组不是prefer A to B 吗？ 看不出D有什么不好的亚？

Here, preferred is a verb form that acts as an adjective so the idiom, prefer A to B, does not apply in this case.

Furthermore, in Choice D it would be better to put in theory available ... into a clause in order to avoid any confusion.

法官 Lois Forer 的研究提出了这样一个问题: 为什么相比起其他人,一些诉讼当事人对法庭这个公共资源的使用有偏好. 理论上, 法庭是个全社会共享的资源. 可实际上它在贫富间的分布是不公平的.
