GWD-29-Q24

笨西笨

同意
               B the best  是主语部分在比较。在这里do不一定需要补出的『本题是可以省略的，因为total fat是不可数的，与livestock不属于同一类型名次，不会造成have livestock的歧义，less不能修饰livestock』。

日常用语中
               A is better than B and worse than C。肯定都是不需要重复谓语is的

Prayer倾向选C，但我认为错误，根据下面2个原句可知

原句是

New York Times， February 19, 2002

“Wild animals not only have less total fat than livestock fed on grain[CH1], but[CH2]
more of their fat is of a kind (omega-3) thought to be good for cardiac health, and less of a kind (omega-6) that promotes heart disease.”



because it has
fewer calories, less total fat and more of the kind of essential fatty acids that some research suggests are good.


[CH1]AB里的比较结构，这是可行的
[CH2]后面没有have，是因为but，题目中是and，就不能省略have。
KT: 但是后文紧接着and less of a kind of 和B选项完全一致，说明and也是可以的

以下是引用愁予在2008-6-8 16:39:00的发言：
og10-19
19.
    In addition to having more protein than wheat does, the protein in rice is higher quality than that in wheat, with more of the amino acids essential to the human diet.









(A) the protein in rice is higher quality than that in









(B) rice has protein of higher quality than that in









(C) the protein in rice is higher in quality than it is in









(D) rice protein is higher in quality than it is in









(E) rice has a protein higher in quality than

请教如果lz说的那道题明显比较不对等的话，那么这题的B是否有比较不对等的嫌疑呢

这个没有不对等啊, the protein in rice is higher quality than the protein in wheat, 很合理阿, 如果改成 rice has higher quality protein than that of wheat 才是和这题C的错误类似吧

The answer is B -   rice has protein of higher quality than that in
证明GMAT同意这种用法。
故29-Q24的C应该是正确的。。。

LS，这里是主语比较即是wild animals 与livestock的比较，
你说的变成了fat的比较，变成了宾语比较，对象搞错了。犯了改变原句意思的严重错误。
你所引用的OG的那题中，是protein的比较，是宾语的比较。再仔细瞧瞧。

这一题应该是B，因为我之前找过国外的网站。

貌似bob大神说这题没正确选项

manhattan forum上面的人真是牛逼哄哄啊~~~remember, we don't make the rules; they do.这句话胜过多少个解释啊，很明显选B 就会犯了一个语法点：
完整主谓宾结构对比的时候一定要加上do，只有主谓没有宾语的时候就不用加上DO
I EAT APPLE FASTER THAN YOU DO
I EAT FASTER THAN YOU
这两个例子我都看烂了，在这里还是没有apply到，你说我们该有多冤啊。。。。我们就认了吧，这道题没有答案，要是可以这样曲解或者搞特殊的话，B是最好的。。。鉴定完毕，看看下面的曼哈顿论坛的解释吧，可能有点作用
BTW，后面的more of a kind of fat的用法我也觉得无比奇怪，请问出自哪里啊？？我是因为被GWD逼上绝路才选C的，起码两个比较都不正确的情况下，C是平行的，而且后半部分没有more of a kind of fat这种恶心的表达。。。要是真遇上这题，大家就认命吧，起码知道自己是冤的哈哈。。。

Isn't B incorretly saying
wild animals have less fat than wild animals have livestock
I thought for proper comaprision we need verb in the second part of comparision something like - wild animals have less total fat than do livestock.

you've learned a lesson here: the gmat's preference for that 'do' is not absolute.

from a 100% strict semantic viewpoint, i agree with you here: there's technically an ambiguity. however, we now have evidence, in the form of this problem, that the gmat doesn't consider ALL of these 'ambiguities' as truly ambiguous. rather, provided that the 'second meaning' is sufficiently absurd AND nonparallel (note the obvious logical nonparallelism of compairing total fat to livestock), it's ok to eliminate the 'do'.

sigh.

remember, we don't make the rules; they do. but with each problem like this one that you study, you'll have a better idea of exactly what their rules are.
