Gmat-_Suck破解的Prep给出的答案是E，用的就是to...from..结构。前面有人讨论过gwd的一道题目，是不是可以参照这个给出的答案来解释呢？

adlinker

A：中up to冗余
B：中无谓语
C：having finished 时态有问题，increased和rose语义重复。
D：改变原文强调中心
to... from  这个结构以前没有见过，是否是倒装呢？
另外是否分词修饰是否要紧跟被修饰对象？而定语从句是否可以跳跃修饰？

to from 可以的,D错在either or 不平行

记得有题是说公司的利润增长的就用的to from

ABC的问题是,现在分词做后置定语歧义

adlinker

恩，D中这么大一个错误居然没有发现，惭愧。
ABC的分词修饰对象是students，中间被插入了United States，会产生歧义。
另外看来限制性定语从句也可以不紧跟被修饰对象。

刚刚看到有一个帖子讨论GWD1-2，争论的就是to。。。from。。。结构对不对，帖子太长，我没看着决定性的解释，正好又做到了这样一个prep题目，贴上来也许可以方便一些需要的人
