看了不少讨论还是不知道B or D

小结一下：A C是因为lacking的主语要是人。   B D lack后面是what，不是in

我倾向B ，因为我觉得more than 和 whatever感觉语气有点重复

The passion with which he played the music more than made up what/whatever he lacked in technical skill.

This question is a non-GMAT-like question. I would be very careful about studying from this source (to be more blunt: I wouldn't use the 1000SC source). Some of the questions are fine but many are not sufficiently GMAT-like and will lead you astray.

Ron was nice enough to try to give some direction here without dissing the source - so let me. This is not a good question. Don't study it.

好题，顶！

1,spend: sb spend sth; cost: sth cost sb....



Lack 就像spend,主语永远是人。Lacking: be lacking in是一个固定搭配，主语也永远是人。



选项A把lack当成cost来用，肯定错。



2,make up, make up for都有弥补的意思



The passion with which he played the music more than made up what he lacked in technical skill. 为了强调宾语，将主动句的宾语提前作为被动句的主语。



3,More than=highly，very much等等表示较大程度的程度副词,在这里是个程度副词短语，注意！！than在这里绝对不是一个介词。



例如：我们可以说 He is deeply(greatly/highly/not a little/no end/all too/ever so/more than) impressed. 不管用哪一个都表示 He is deeply impressed.



ETS总是用这些很拽的词来减慢我们的阅读速度，但是只要我们熟悉了这些所谓正式用语(当然需要很长时间的积累)，这种句子其实并不可怕。

不就题论题地说，make up和make up for的区别是不是可以这么理解：

1.Make up for所弥补的就是exactly缺少的，所以11楼的句子

Ed was the original DIY filmmaker, and while he lacked technical skill, he more than made up for it.

这里Ed缺少的就是filmmaker的tech skill，他弥补的就是tech skill

2.但是make up就不一定了，只是弥补围绕一个主题的同样重要的技能，因此这题中

The passion with which he played the music more than made up what he lacked in technical skill.
弥补的不是exactly缺少的tech skill，而是用passion弥补play music所欠缺的tech skill，因此用make up。

以上。

whatever 翻译为“无论什么” 不对。

小小明噢耶

①make up和好;组成;构成;编造，虚构（故事、借口等）;给…化妆
  Make up for =compensate for
②whatever is more idiomatic than what.
What并没有实际指出technical skills缺失的是什么
Whatever carries the sense of identifiteness.
