小安23题疑问

刚下了小安23题，其中语法Q4正确答案为：
According....., minority grads are nearly four times more likely than are other grads in planning to practice in ...
通常LIKELY的用法是BE LIKELY TO DO。。OR BE LIKELY THAT。。。而没有BE LIKELY IN DOING 的用法呀，才疏学浅，诸位大牛不要笑话，多多指教呀。

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(缺少了be动词are,使后边的比较结构不完整)
c. minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing
(four times和 as likely as连用不对)
d. it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice(句子中缺少more…than中的than)
e. it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice(句子中的as…than错误)
答案: a

在GMAT考试中不能孤立的用某个语法点来判断整个句子的对错,"一踢死"经常是将很多语法点,对的和错的混杂在一起的,所以要灵活的看.就像是解数学题一样,一道题可能会涉及到多个定理,呵呵

万分感谢您如此详细的赐教。作题时，偶选了C，因为记得LZM的书中PAGE161上，第七，倍数增减的表达中，第2，倍数+AS+形容词/副词+AS的用法，是不是又被刘大虾误导了？盼望您的答复。
