真是有劳几位MM。 其实than he/him不是GMAT考点， 几位还是这么热心， 感动

还有一题 885 Sec 1
12.    Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.
(A) Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only
(B) In 1905, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed
(C) In 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only
(D) Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed
(E) Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

答案是C。在A和C之间徘徊， 觉得哪个也不完美。A中的Traveling的位置不好， C中traveling ... Hungary armed 有点碍眼， 总觉得象修饰Hungary。 哪位帮我分析一下？    thx

此题C好
因为当选项中有时间状语时
一般时间状语应该放在名词之前，或者是动词之后

A中1905的位置，看上去不舒服

而aimed~~~是分词短语做目的状语，表明他们的travel是为了干吗

merlion

armed only with an edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity 是指用了什么装备把。修饰什么呢？traveling ？béla bartók and zoltán kodály ？

再来一道   885-Sec3-10
10.    For many people, household labor remains demanding even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle.
(A) even if able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(B) despite being able to afford household appliances their grandparents would find a miracle
(C) even if they can afford household appliances their grandparents would have found miraculous
(D) although they could afford household appliances their grandparents would find miraculous
(E) even if they are able to afford household appliances which would have been a miracle to their grandparents

答案是C。为什么用would have found ？ 读起来挺顺的， 但不理解。我选成了D。 望指教， thx

wikeypig

could表过去时，和主句时态不符。其它是be able to ,can的区别。
would have done本应怎样。

以下是引用merlion在2003-9-18 12:04:00的发言：

sorry,我看错题目了，看成aimed at了，呵呵

应该是armed with
修饰béla bartók and zoltán kodály 这两个家伙

过去分词短语，做定语

(B) have been generated if a portion of the capital would have been
(C) be generated if a portion of the capital were
(D) be generated if a portion of the capital was

选C
是不是虚拟语气

但记得刘书中讲过，GMAT的语法中，没有复杂的虚拟语气成分
这种类型的题目是不是不太会考啊
