724. At the end of 2001, motion picture industry representatives said that there were about a million copies of Hollywood movies available online and expected privacy to increase with high-speed Internet connections that become more widely available.

A. online and expected privacy to increase with high-speed Internet connections that become more widely available

B. online and expect the increase of privacy with the wider availability of high-speed Internet connections

C. online, and that they expect more privacy to increase with the wider availability of high-speed Internet connections

D. online, and that they expected the increase of privacy as high-speed Internet connections would become more widely available

E. online, and that they expected privacy to increase as high-speed Internet connections became more widely available

这题当中expected为什么不能与said平行呢？

之前看ron的课程中说，从右往左看，右边的expected不能与左边的said平行么？

还有就是，D答案中用的would是对的么？ expect表示的是未来的事情，所以是跟will；这里用了expected，所以应该对应would，这样分析有错误么？

希望大家解答一下～

expected 是可以和said平行，但是就改变了句子的意思，相比之下，they said that and that 比 they said that and expected 要合理的多吧

they expect that because something existed, not because something will happen. 同样是从句意出发，也是E的表达更合理。

关于第二个问题，楼主的想法“ expect表示的是未来的事情，所以是跟will；这里用了expected，所以应该对应would”，应该是把will/would的位置想错了，根据句子意思想想，will应该直接是放在紧跟着expect 后面的部分（即期待什么事会发生），而不是as...那部分
will/would放在这句，也应该是expected that privacy would increase as high-speed Internet connections became more widely available. 但是因为expected前面已经有that了，再用这个结构就比较怪，所以省略would，改用E选项中比较简洁的方法，expect noun to verb的用法本来也包含了will/would的意思。

这道题 我也快要纠结死了 期待NN 解答
关于平行问题，网上有的instructor说said和expected是可以平行的，有的说不能平行。
我个人觉得不能，如果people said that ...and  expected ....就当于 said 和 expected 是两个seperate things ，我认为原句要表达的意思是 people  said : there were a million copies of XXX and expected piracy to increase
总之我认为expected 跟said不是两个独立的事情应该是包含的 ，于是排除ABC
然后D ，as-clause 应当修饰 an action ,由此除去D。(这个是我在网上找的一位instrctor的解析)

关于你的 would问题  有一位instructor说would不对
摘录如下

The correct usages are as follows:

Statement/ expectation in present: I expect that prices will increase as high-speed Internet becomes more available.
Statement/ expectation in past: I expected that prices would increase as high-speed Internet became more available.

All verbs within the statement / expectation goes on step back along with the main verb (expect / said etc.) of the sentence.

但是整体上我对这些解释都不太喜欢 说不上来为什么 尤其OG 说a b 缺clear subject 真搞不懂~
嘻嘻 顶上去 求NN解答~

作者想表达的意思是 因为高速网络越来越普及，预期盗版会增加 所以前后关系是因果， 而且前后句对应的都应该是动作 普及 - 增加
A）这个选项第一前后因果关系不是很重，第二后面become more widely availible 是修饰speed connection的 翻译成中文就像是 伴随着普及的高速网络 预期盗版会增加 而不是随着网络的普及
B) 第二个 expect时态不对
C) expect时态不对， more和increase重复
D) 这个是拿前面的名词increase of 比后面的动作 more and more available would感觉不太对 但不太确定 需要大神解答呢

上面有人问为什么said和expect不能平行。
我是这样的思路：因为有个and，前后时态和句式都要平行，如果要said和expect平行，expected后面要有个that跟一个从句。
并且，...that, and that 是gmat里面常考的句式，譬如
Eg: Many environmentalists, and some economists, say that free trade encourages industry to relocate to countries with ineffective or poorly enforced antipollution laws, mostly in the developing world, and that, in order to maintain competitiveness, rich nations have joined this downward slide toward more lax attitudes about pollution.
Eg: Researchers have determined that, because of poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times more rare than China's giant pandas.
Eg: Research has shown that when speaking, individuals who have been blind from birth and have thus never seen anyone gesture nonetheless make hand motions just as frequently and in the same way as sighted people do, and that they will gesture even when conversing with another blind person.

You can say: "I expect global warming to worsen as more greenhouse gasses get released into the atmosphere".
This would be idiomatically incorrect: "I expect global warming to worsen as more greenhouse gasses will get released into the atmosphere."

"An increase in piracy" would be grammatically correct. "The increase of piracy" is not.
