GWD26-Q3

while BH is the subjective, "ranging..." could not attach to the main clause. therefore E should be eliminated.

3. GWD26-Q3

Deliberately imitating the technique of Louis Armstrong, jazz singer Billie Holiday’s

approach to singing was to use her voice like an instrument, in that she ranged

freely over the beat, flattened out the melodic contours of tunes, and, in effect,

recomposed songs to suit her range, style, and artistic sensibilities.

A.     Billie Holiday’s approach to singing was to use her voice like an instrument,

in that she ranged freely over the beat, flattened.

B.     Billie Holiday’s approach to singing was to use her voice in a similar way

to how other musicians play instruments, in ranging freely over the beat,

flattening.

C.     Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice like other musicians

played instruments, ranging freely over the beat, flattening.

D.     Billie Holiday used her voice in the same way that other musicians use their

instruments, in that she ranged freely over the beat, flattening.

E.      Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice like other musicians

Instruments, ranging freely over the beat, flattening.

我也认为应该选D.首先分析主语，由于immitate的主语只能是人，而不是方法，所以A,B,C可以被排除。再来看D和E。Like所比较的两个东西必须是对称的，但是Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice与 other musicians Instruments显然是不对称的，前者是一句句子，后者是一个名词。此外in that是表示because的意思，而且一般比because用的更为得当。flattening是表示伴随状态，即进一步修饰range freely over the beat. 最后ranged与后文的composed前后呼应很对称。综上所述，应该选D

D. Deliberately imitating the technique of Louis Armstrong, jazz singer Billie Holiday used her voice in the same way that other musicians use their instruments, in that she ranged freely over the beat, flattening
                out the melodic contours of tunes, and, in effect, recomposed songs to suit her range, style, and artistic sensibilities.

E. Deliberately imitating the technique of Louis Armstrong, jazz singer Billie Holiday approached singing by using her voice like other musicians instruments, ranging freely over the beat, flattening
                    out the melodic contours of tunes, and, in effect, recomposed songs to suit her range, style, and artistic sensibilities.

我选的是E，但觉得两个都不是特别的好，但在比较了两个的语法结构之后，我又比较了两个句子的意思。即便是D的in that表because可以被GMAC接受的话，这个句子的因果关系似乎也不符合逻辑。BH使用她的voice就像别的音乐家用乐器一样，因为她自由地排列音节，（插入语：削平曲调的韵律特征），并且有效地将歌曲重新编排以适应她的范围，风格和艺术悟性。我不懂音乐，这种逻辑关系在音乐界成立吗？

但E中的错误也很明显，比如平行对称结构缺少and，这也是GMAT的考点啊。百思不得其解！望高人指点

菜鸟一只，说点自己的想法：

in that如果解释成“在。。。的方面”会不会好些？就好象前面in the same way that other musicians use their instruments

what if “that” means “the same way”？
