第一题：

如果将B改为B) that they are twice as likely  to get osteoarthritis of the knee  as White women。则才有可能正确。否则to get osteoarthritis of the knee 会引起歧义。比如，做定语修饰White women。

第二题：

其他的都有问题。只有选择A.因为A的谓语动词是不及物动词，所以，定语后置还不至于引起歧义。不过，确实不常见。

第三题：

选B是不正确的，因为第一个逗号之前，和第二个逗号之后已经是句子了。所以，需要but这样的连词连接。

Agree, these Qs seem not very hard.

谢谢楼上的回答

关于第三题, 我的疑问在于except=but not

此句虽然加入连接词是正确的, 但又加but 在前, 不会造成语义重复嘛?

   ,”but” but not …

but 是连词，except是副词。

1)A doesn't seem to be right. likelihood不接to do, 而接 of /that...本题有很明显的比较color women and black women, 必须用as ... as ..我选B。 因为主语比较， 第二个as 可以省略 do.

2)我选A.

3)我选C

dearpiow

恩…确实B会引起歧义, A反而加了do清楚不引起歧义

请问楼上的说likelihood不接to do, 而接 of /that这规则是真的吗?

同意樓主答案.第一題的A不合慣用法

Collins:likelihood of N/-ing, likelihood that

B的be likely to是慣用法

同意楼上的，第1题应该是B,没有twice the likelihood这样的用法，likelihood to也不是习惯用法！并且表示twice的倍数要用as   as,没有twice as的用法！！
