天山新题20 9

看了全部，我也覺得是B，因為what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by應該就是for which he was lacking in technical skill was more than made up by the passion變來的，既然使用what了，就不應再出現介係詞for

支持B，make up和make up for都对，但是what比whatever好

好像是b吧！

D吧，无论在技巧上有什么不足，都可以用激情来弥补。

我觉得还是要从出题点方面考虑，句子的意思是说 baker不是乐团里最有天赋的，但是他演奏时的激情足以祢补他在演奏技巧方面的欠缺。 but已经表示了转折whaever的出现就redundant。我觉得是在考转折，而且 make up 和make up for 的用词好像都不错。

觉得楼上MM说的有道理啊

答案应该是D，这里只能用make up for,不能用make up；而what和whatever之间的差别在此无关痛痒。

我建议选D,原因：一，whatever 语气强烈，且感觉上受到GMAT宠爱；二，查了longman双解，make up在解释为“弥补”时，更偏向于偿还的意味；而make up for解释为“弥补”，多指用好的弥补坏的，符合此处用法。

大家决不觉得E中后面的he应该是was?这样答案E就可以了，嘿嘿。这套题怪怪的

LONGMAN:

whatever:2
            used to say that it is not important what happens, what you do etc because it does not change the situation:

Whatever I suggest, he always disagrees.

The building must be saved, whatever the cost.

If you are unable to attend the interview, for whatever reason, you should inform us immediately.

 

所以我觉得这里应该是说无论他缺少什么skill都能被他的passion弥补

而且这里我也查到只有make up for才看到加more than的用法:

make up for something
        phrasal verb

1
                to make a bad situation better, or replace something that has been lost:

The team will be anxious to make up for a disappointing start to the season.

I don't eat breakfast but I make up for it at lunch.

The good days
                        more than make up for
                    the bad ones.
