1.
(B) weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(D) weather conditions that are not foreseeable, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
題目有Could not(可能), D)改成are not(一定不會)改變句意

2.(A)do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would agree 好像很少用likely most吧???

请问if not most怎么理解？

1.
(B) weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
(D) weather conditions that are not foreseeable, and pilot errors often cause much larger deposits of spray than
題目有Could not(可能), D)改成are not(一定不會)改變句意

"are not" is concise, "cannot be forseen" looks awkwad.  What is the correct answer here?

小哎

the right answer is b

小哎，当动词和该同意形容词出现的时候优先选择动词更简洁和准确，这是gmat的原则，当动词和其的名次同时出现时也是有限选择动词。

第二个问题就是你前面都说了many minority people，怎么可能还用likely most, 意思上讲不通的，你体会一下，如果是可能大多数就没必要用这种结构了，直接说可能大多数就好了，一般习惯的表达都是many...if not most(如果不是大多数，大部分）

第一个当时做的时候我也错了
也是在这两个选项里面转
不过现在我比较有经验了,这样的题目,看见情态动词就要选情态动词
其实你翻译成中文下就能区别了
一个是不能被预见,一个是不可预见.前面的稍微好些

第二个的话,之前没做过.我觉得这个应该算个难题了
我会选D的.
语感........
感觉说话的时候,应该给自己留点余地
而且总据的这个likely most...怪怪的
被语感排除了

小哎

谢谢meggie_xm

B.weather conditions that cannot be foreseen, 指的是不可以被预见到的天气状况。也就是说由于不可被预见到的一些天气情况会影响到结果

D.weather conditions that are not foreseeable，指的是天气状况不能被预测到。也就是说由于天气都不能被预见到，所以影响到结果。

题目中的意思是，某些不可被预见到的天气情况会影响到结果，所以D改变了句意。
