以下是引用snowfield在2006-7-10 9:35:00的发言：关于B我觉得只能说是相对不错的选项，应该是形容词短语之后作定语（有人说是同位语），修饰紧前名词，只是觉得其中的that似乎应该用those，因为后面是多个国家的income。 但关于E（应为：which is lower than it is in)我觉得其中的it应该是指代annual per capita income,但既然是不同地区的income,而不是同一个income，那么就不能用it，而应该用that（参见下例），而且由于是多个国家的income，我觉得应该用those。对此选项og居然说make the correct comparison，but the construction is needlessly wordy. 无语阿...... 199. Because the Earth’s crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West. (A) of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West (B) of a given magnitude will typically devastate 100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern United States instead of the West (C) will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern United States than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West (D) in the eastern United States will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West（D） (E) that occurs in the eastern United States will typically devastate 100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 100
times the area... than is unidiomatic. UP，同感～～ |

S. 我感觉GMAT更愿意用同位语,而不是which这个容易引起误会的从句. 而且还concise!
