4. According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.
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
你的答案是a
这题怎么解释呢？in planning to practice
a 答案其实是：A are more likely than are B in planning to do 难道in planning 是修饰不定式to do 的？
对比较这个语言现象始终有心理障碍。

10.Young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits caused by the desire to be as thin as possible.
D. Because they desire to be as thin as possible, young female ballet dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits
E. Young female dancers and gymnasts sometimes fail to maintain good eating habits because they desire to be as thin as possible

你没有选E的原因是因为they 可能 refer to habits

Thks!

#4 A. Agree.

viv

be adj in doing sth, plan to do sth，两个phrase.
我对“than are other graduates” 比较困惑，
直接用than other graduates, 或者than other graduates are错在哪里，为什么一定要倒装呢？
请各位大虾指教

anchoret

in planning to do
plan to do是搭配
in 表示领域

than other graduates are和than are other graduates都强调了比较对象，应该补出动词，但不补出只要不会产生歧义，像这道题一样，就不是绝对的错误。
这道题不是错在这里。
