先问这几道,thank you先

第一题:真正的主语是list,主谓一致问题.

 

第二题:from which derive both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets其实是: Both the northern and the southern Indian alphabets derive from it(the script).介词前置,倒装.

 

第三题:陈述的对象和变化的内容是percent. 2.8 percent当然是more或者less的问题了.如果rose的对象是用其他方式表达出来的,完全有可能是用lower.主要看中心词.

 

第四题:e本身是错的. Little of significant differences是什么意思? 即便是正确的,也就是说“小小的区别”,由于后面用的是differences(复数),前面应该用few,当然,用few就没有“小小的区别”这个意思了. 或许应该用: little of a significant difference,但我个人也觉得这个有点别扭,虽然语法上看来是对的.

第一题我也觉得LIST是中心词,是个单数,所以后面exhibitu 应该加Ｓ的吧？？？

第四题还是不太明白

GMAT语法看来是越来越难了

第一题 要从逻辑意思理解 中心词是animals，list怎么可能exhibit a preference呢？确实挺容易错的

看来做语法的时候理解句子意思也非常重要,唉,可问题是不知道哪题是要去分析句子意思，哪题是只要抓住语法点就够了
