1. No matter how much work it may require, getting an MBA turns out to be a wise investment for most people.
Even though it requires much work

The original sentence does not say that getting an MBA requires a lot of
work. The expression no matter how much work it may require simply says
that the amount of work (whether large or small) does not matter. The revised
version eliminates the word may, so that the new sentence does say that an
MBA requires a lot of work. This change of meaning is UNJUSTIFIED.
大概的意思是:原句正确,后面的句子错误。原因是原句表示无论工作量大小都好,MBA都很有价值。
后面的句子则是指读MBA的工作量很大,改变了原句的意思,所以错误。


4.She is the most dedicated gardener on the block, watering the more than 50
plants in her yard every day.
watering more than the 50 plants in her yard every day


The original version contains the phrase the more than 50 plants. Here
the words more than modify the number 50. The sentence therefore means that
she waters her plants, of which there are more than 50. In the boldface version,
the phrase changes to watering more than the 50 plants. Here the words more
than are separated from the number 50, and therefore do not modify that number.
The new version says that she waters something more than (i.e., in addition to)
the plants—for instance, she might water her gravel walkway or her garden
gnomes or the neighbors’ plants. Both versions potentially make sense (though
one implies she is a very dedicated gardener), so either version could be
correct.
而这题则两句都正确。
解释说:第一句是指每天浇灌50棵以上的植物,第二句是指除了浇灌50棵植物外,还浇灌别的东西。都make sense。但是根据第一题的标准,答案不是应该遵循原句意思吗?请各位NN来讨论一下!

我有两个看法,欢迎讨论。

1、楼主举得这两题中,非划线部分的语境明确,都可以推导出原句就是正确的含义。

2、这两题只是语法书里的例题,并非OG真题,因此不具有代表性,建议楼主还是重点研究OG中的真题。

所以请问是怎么一回事啊?我与楼主有一样的问题,觉得句子的语义都被修改了,不是应该都选A吗?为什么答案不一样
