Results of a United
States study published in the Annals of Internal
Medicine have shown college-educated women and women living in the South
and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as
women living in the Northeast and Midwest.

    

(A) college-educated women and women living in the
South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental
hormones as women living

    

(B) college-educated women and women living in the
South and West as significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than
if they are living

    

(C) college-educated women and those living in the
South and West being significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones
than if they lived

    

(D) that college-educated women and women who live
in the South and West are significantly more likely to be using supplemental
hormones as were women that lived

    

(E)
that college-educated women and women living in the South and West are
significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than women living

E中的比较句型是不是有些问题啊。...women and women... are more likely to use... hormones than women...; 是不是改成...women and women... are more likely to use... than ARE women... 才更准确呢？不然就可能误解成 hormones 和 women的对比了。请大家指点。

你说的没错，比较句型前面有及物动词，为了避免成为受词的比较会补出动词。

D有补，但是似乎不对，应该是补are，时态要一致才对。
会不会因为时态是一致，所以省了are

D人的对比写法也不对秤，E是women living... women living...

这就是GMAT语法的捉摸不定之处啊。。。。

Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study indicate that the patterns of stress that girls experience are more likely to result in depression than are those that boys experience.

 

(A) are those that boys experience

(B) what boys experience

(C) boys' experience would

(D) boys' stress patterns do

(E) stress patterns of boys

这里就是补出最好了，所以，这一点来说，没有最好，只有更好。
