纠结题，求助NN～～

1 A of B, which中WHICH的指代就是默认为B了吗？如果B与which不符就是错误选项了么？

2 The current economic downturn has significantly reduced advertising income both for business journals as well as general consumer magazines, especially those focusing on technology.中those不是说除了比较结构中后半段，不能单独出现的么？

3 so that 和in order that在GMAT中是怎么界定区别的？

4  

According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

1. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

2. minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

3. minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

4. it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

5. it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

原本我很坚定选A的，但是不知为何我下载的GWD上非说B中plan on doing的结构也对，并且比较优选，纠结了。。。

请教各位NN们了～～～～～

刚好总结到了，转一下吧：

倍数的用法

1). 4 times more likely to do than to do
2). 4 times as adj. / adv. as
3). 4 times + n. e.g. 4 times what it was

more than ususal / ever before.
more than normal 要小心 因为normal 既可以是形容词也可以是名词, 容易混淆(笔记本上一起记着, 就一并写上)
less likely to do than to do.
可见, 用likely进行比较时, to do要平行对称.

谢谢,不过就你所说,这样MORE THAN LIKELY就一定要加不定式了么?查了下XDF蓝皮上这道题又变A了

A OF B THAT不是看B作为中心词的么,不过GWD
