I see. Thank you a lot.

1.还是那句话，不要去把选项改正确，要反过来去找出选项错在哪儿。

没有绝对的错误，也没有绝对的正确，只有相对的错误，只有比较的正确

2本题我的思路

首先one后边的定语从句that，不可以作为排除依据，所以放置（但是为什么不能作为排除依据要知道）

一级排除 A.  根据believe 的用法，接句子要有that

二级排除B, C  根据believe 后面已经有逻辑宾语 one ,it 多余

三级排除D  of 不能省略。explosion不能是type而可以是one of a type

3 按照ETS的思路走，不要按着自己的思路去改变ETS，GMAT考试更多的是在考思路。

                because
                of their sales of a year earlier being so bad

零售商公布了不错的11月份销售报告，一方面因为去年同期销售很差，另一方面因为人们开始在假期到来前采购东西。

这里隐含报告的披露的内容是同比变化数据。

as much because 从句．．as because从句．．

GWD3-Q22:

On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins, immigrants found that on arrival in the United States they had to surrender all of the gold they had brought with them.

 

 

1. On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
2. With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold
3. A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding
4. Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold
5. Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

 

 

1 定语从句
     一级排除A,B

定语从句修饰
   imprisonment 不合理

2 介词+现在分词
   绝对错误
     一级排除
    C

for a United States citizen holding

because of doing ?

make it adj +从句
   和 make it adj+to do 都是对的，这里的it作宾补，代替的是从句和to do。但是这道题的从句形式的时态有问题

3 being表示动作持续
   二级比较排除E

1. Due to错误, ETS不认为due to可以取代because, because of.
2. makes时态错误. GMAT里面修饰政令法规, 一般都用分词形式.

关于E选项，偶记得OG中给出的官方解释是:due to =contribute to; ≠because or because of;因此在GMAT中，due to 一般都不会出现在句首的；且E中"a law being passed"中的being表达逻辑意思不正确,being更多表达状态，而这里的law早已在1933年就passed了；所以看到这两个关键点即可否决E；
    

另，前面讲到D选项中对because of困惑的，偶认为这里的because of 后面的核心次就是a law“passed in 1933 ……"是作为定语修饰a law的
    

 

 

本题问题

1 A,B选项里的that a United States citizen hold可不可以因为有修饰imprisonment 不合理而排除

2  for a United States citizen holding 这里是不是介词+现在分词，，这个语法点真的是绝对错误吗？那所有的for doing 都错吗？
     

3 because of doing？是不好吗？

4 这题的排除思路到底是什么啊，好像时态和due to都不能作为绝对排除吧？

5 还有什么叫夹心结构啊？

    A.On account of a law passed in 1993, making it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

             ==》 主谓数不一致，排除

    B.With a law passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment that a United States citizen hold

             ==》 主谓数不一致，排除

     C. A law passed in 1933 that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding

          ===》 Run-on 结构，排除。 逗号前后都是句子而无连词链接。
            

    D. Because of a law passed in 1933 making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

    E.Due to a law being passed in 1933 that makes it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold

           ===》 Due to 不好， being passed 修饰law 也不对，无动作发出对象。排除。

1 定语从句
     一级排除A,B 定语从句修饰   imprisonment 不合理

2 介词+现在分词    绝对错误      一级排除     C

本题问题

1 A,B选项里的that a United States citizen hold可不可以因为有修饰imprisonment 不合理而排除

===> 太烦，还要考虑意思，不用这个排除。

2  for a United States citizen holding 这里是不是介词+现在分词，，这个语法点真的是绝对错误吗？那所有的for doing 都错吗？
 ==》 这是   介词+现在分词，目前看到没有这种结构对的。但是注意要 介词+动名词区分。

3 because of doing？是不好吗？

==》because of + 名词。 此题后面的核心词是个名词。

4 这题的排除思路到底是什么啊，好像时态和due to都不能作为绝对排除吧？

==》看看上面

5 还有什么叫夹心结构啊？

==》一般是说主谓之间插入分词修饰结构。

GWD5-Q1:

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

 

1. and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent,
2. and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that
3. her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that
4. lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent,
5. so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that

C

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that
                Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

 

Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were so dogged, her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that
            Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

 

E

So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that
                Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.是不是应该有and 呢？

 

Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry were so dogged,
                so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that
            Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social

 

So dogged were her investigations of the garment industry, and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that she was first recruited by Gov. Al Smith, and later by Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, to work within New York
                State government, rather than against it.

这一题绝对是争议题中的争议题，讨论贴就有13也，有一位NN在New York Times上找到了原话（上文），我个人觉得这题ETS是想要考平行和倒装，所以我选E

* 代词是不是能指代"A's B "中的A的问题

关于's 这个问题，ETS考的非常灵活,建议不要把除了双重所有格以外的和's相关的东西作为排除点

* dogged ,(adj.顽强的，顽固的）

Q18: GWD-4-4

A new hair-growing drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the drug’s maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.

 

1. as

2. than

3. that

4. of what

5. at which
                   

 

这一题也是争议题，CD讨论倾向选C，that。

A 不能用as因为前面的three times,既然three times了,用as就有一点奇怪

D. of what不可以。如果用of what，从句里的what是price的数值，而price of 要求的宾语是price的对象。price of the book 是对的，price of 2 $就是错的了。

E charge at...后面跟的应该是费率之类的

GWD6-Q2:

According to its proponents, a proposed new style of aircraft could, by skimming along the top of the atmosphere, fly between most points on Earth in under two hours.

 

1. According to its proponents, a proposed new style of aircraft could, by skimming along the top of the atmosphere, fly between most points on Earth in under two hours.
                   
2. By
                       skimming along the top of the atmosphere, proponents of a proposed new style of aircraft say it could fly between most points on Earth in under two hours.
                   逻辑主语不一致
3. A proposed new style of aircraft could fly between most points on Earth in under two hours, according to its proponents, with it skimming along the top of the atmosphere. with短语表示伴随，
               distortion
4. A proposed new style of aircraft, say its proponents, could fly between most points on Earth in under two hours because of its skimming along the top of the atmosphere.
                        because of its skimming 改变原意，distortion
5. According to its proponents, skimming along the top of the atmosphere makes it possible that a proposed new style of aircraft could fly between most points on Earth in under two hours.
                   句子中心转移

                                                                             Answer: A

1．逻辑主语不一致   一级绝对错误排除B

2.   逻辑意思，句子重心转移
            二级次优排除E

3     词法-比较by, with, because of 也是本题的考点
                  三级比较排除C,D

这题是在考by这个词的逻辑意思, by表示方式和手段, C中的with表示伴随, D中的because of表示原因, 都违背了本意, 所以错误, 另外D中的插入语say its proponents也是一个错误的原因.

此题我的错误是把A选项中的according to 判断为与a proposed new style of aircraft逻辑主语不一致。实际上，according to是可以的。according to不用考虑逻辑主语见例句

According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations.

(A) like that of earlier generations

(B) as that for earlier generations

(C) just as earlier generations did

(D) as have earlier generations（E）

(E) as it was of earlier generations
