119. The decision by one of the nation's largest banks to admit to $3 billion in potential losses on foreign loans could mean less lending by commercial banks to developing countries and increasing the pressure on multigovernment lenders to supply the funds.
                

(A)  increasing the pressure
                

(B)   the increasing pressure
                

(C)  increased pressure
                

(D)  the pressure increased

(E)   the pressure increasing
            

答案是Ｃ，我选了Ｂ

OG对于B的解答是，the increasing pressure is not parallel to less lending

请教一下，为什么这里不平行呢？难道不能说是正在增加的压力吗？多谢大家解答～

我当时也选的是B，当时是想有the就清楚的表明了名词性的概念，白勇也有这题，记得分析是ING是一个持续的过程，而这里表达的是一个完成的状态，不过个人觉得持续的过程应该也不至于那么没有逻辑，大家给看看B是不是还有别的错

个人观点：

GMAT偏向于使用increased + n 表是增加的结果，是一种状态

不知道是不是這樣:
less lending=adjective+noun
the increasing pressure=noun phrase
increased pressure=adjective+noun

那么(A) increasing the pressure=adj + noun, 为什么不对呢？

谢谢 

graceguo98

A如果是increasing pressure 就可以了？

Not exactly. you can see:

In choice B, the definite article the needlessly suggests that some previously mentioned type of pressure is being referred to, and increasing implies without warrant that the increase has been continuing for some indefinite period of time, not that it occurs as a consequence of the bank’s decision.

OG11解释的错误太多了...

我觉得应该从意思上理解：losses on foreign loans could mean + means的结果。那么结果都是完成的事实。less lending 和increased pressure 都是完成的结果，是名词结构的状态。而B表示正在进行的过程（Ving+N），显然不如C好~
