ETS允许在同一个句子里同一代词的主格与物主形式指代不同的对象，如OG60，再如：

1)When an individual or a party is wronged in the United States, to whom can he apply for redress? If to the public opinion, public opinion constitutes the majority; if to the legislature, it represents the majority and implicitly obeys its injunctions; if to the executive power, it is appointed by the majority and remains a passive tool in its hands; the public troops consist of the majority under arms; the jury is the majority invested with the right of hearing judicial cases, and in certain states even the judges are elected by the majority.

2)og129: In an effort to reduce their inventories, Italian vintners have cut prices; their wines are priced to sell, and they do

3)“In general,”
            they reported, “the ability of the compounds to compete at the receptors correlates with their ability to stimulate locomotion in the mouse; i.e., the higher their capacity to bind at the receptors, the higher their ability to stimulate locomotion.”

数字＋times后面可以加more的，four times more than就是说多四倍，也就是五倍；而说four times as many as……则是说，是它的四倍

我认为这里不存在指代错误，According to a recent study the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children than to receive it from them.这句话中，than 后面的to receive it from them的逻辑主语是the elderly, 如果them 又是指代the elderly, 岂不变成the elderly receive regular financial aid from themselves,这不是很好笑吗？

另外，我倒是想请教一下各位NN，我记得我做的OG11中有一题涉及more likely, OG的解释中说more likely 这个词组本身错的，应该为more than likely, 请问各位对这题又没有印象，可否解答一下？
