第一题

1..尽管介词不是GMAT语法考察重点 但是此题不加on,前后无直接逻辑关系的名词语义断裂，所以要加on,固排除D、E选项。

2. 前面主语为proposal单数 固后面用has 不用have，排除B选项

3.saying可以修饰前面整个句子，而which says只能修饰紧挨的名词，排除C选项。

选A。

第一题应该选C吧

say后面的内容that the move will exacerbate the nation’s fuel supply problems是industry的观点，明显是反对这个proposal的

但是有人说

saying不是proposal的动作，应该选C。

选A。

1、D和E被排除是因为both和and连接不平行，而不是介词。

3、saying修饰整个句子逻辑关系不通。say后面应该是the oil industry 说的内容。

个人认为应该选C

我觉得第一题选C，第二题选E。大家怎么看？第二题呢？

寂寞之歌

个人思考：

1、连词连接应该平行，排除D

2、fall后面的句子是用一种具体情况来解释unable to handle the increase in business，而不是并列关系，排除B

3、通过逻辑意思推得应该强调支付这个动作，用分词更好，排除A B C

4、疑问：but是否可以像E那样连接两个动词。

所以个人认为选E，但存在疑问。

but后面不是必须要有主语和谓语吗？
