[讨论] OG11TH--3，OG11TH-- 4，OG11TH-- 8

OG11TH-3原题题干如下：

Diabetes, together with its serious complications, ranks as the nation's third leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart disease and cancer.

我的疑问是：如果没有第一个和第二个逗号，谓语动词rank应该用单数形式还是复数形式？

OG11TH-4题目如下：

A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy, twice as much as 1997.

其中D选项是这样的：(D) double the figure for 1997

我的问题是：（D）选项这里的“for”如果换成“of”或者“in” 还会是正确的吗？

OG11TH-- 8题目如下

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production curbacks that would hamper economic growth.

这道题的解释中提到：when indicates a period of time; if indicates a condition.  if is preferable here.

其中（B）选项是：when not accompanied by corresponding increases in sales, possibly leads

这个选项的解释中有一句是说：when is used to refer to a condition.

我的疑问是：B 选项中关于when的解释，是说这个词应该这么用；还是说这个when在这句话中是这样用的，而这样使用是不对的。

谢谢高手指点迷津！
