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
E. it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice
答案选A， 我选了C，主要考虑(1)be likely to 是固定搭配，A中的in doing 让人不解；（2）four times后面好象可以接as...as 也可以接more...than

第一题选C就把意思改了，SC的原则是尽量维持原意啊

LZM中对几倍用比较还是用AS有解释的

JJ去看看

第二D比C好
在C 中
according to some revelent explantions by OG:

the "directly" in C is too remote to modify contact

第三题中
不论是语感还是语法上，综合考虑还是A好啊
C中用了such as 就变意思了

别的选项更不可能

GMAT的SC是比出来的，不是选出来的
在各个选项中比出最佳的

真题到底有几题，我怎么只见到8题？上哪找的？

我觉得第9题的原题好象有问题！
虽然答案是比较出来的，但总不能出现一个无法解释的语言现象吧？
可能中间的“；”应该是“，”，真题是从哪里来的，准确吗？
FOR开头的第二个句子明显就是个典型的fragment.

我刚问一个朋友，他说，"for"肯定是笔误，绝对不可能有介词短语做主语的情况。

仔仔

我觉得for是因为的意思，好像没有语法错误啊
