Q30:??

Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

 

1. an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications
2. an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
3. so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
4. so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
5. so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

   Answer: ???

我怎麼覺得是A

因為 as much as相同觀念

但前面加了not,變成 not so much as

前後也對稱,而且maybe的問題也排除了

可是大家的答案有e確沒有a????why

为什么说A中an illness...so much as...这种说法正确?

为什么说A中may simply be的问题排除了?

如果能证明这两点,我认为A比E更正确.

E中有个问题:symptomatic是形容词,没查到"作名词的解释",故symptomatic of sth的说法感觉不好.

抱歉

我當初的想法是 not as much as 是固定用法(沒有和...一樣)

但是沒考慮到它的句意

謝謝你 提省我

句意是最最重要的

Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

 

1. an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications
           
2. an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications
           
3. so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction
           
4. so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction
5. so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

first of all, "so much as" must be used as "so much ... as".  A, B, C are obviously wrong.  second,  "not ... but" is very common in GMAT,  how ever, it is not correct to use it as "not ... , but", there should be no ",";  third,  to keep paralle with "anxiety ... or stress", only "a reaction to certain medication" matches. The only correct answer is E.

nickynicky

how to explain the symptomatic in E?

sandy07627

adj.
 

1. Of, relating to, or based on symptoms: symptomatic relief.
     
2. Constituting a symptom, as of a disease: the rash symptomatic of scarlet fever; a rise in unemployment symptomatic of a weakening economy.

原来这里adj 也可以和介词连用的，我也是刚刚才查到的。
