PREP2008 189

OG在解释A,E时说“a comma is insufficient to join two independent clauses into a single sentence. ” 不明白错在哪
OG还说“The opening clause She was less successful…. Therefore creates a comma splice if the comma is not followed by a conjunction.”不明白，到底应不应该加逗号，在哪加？

在GMAT中，compare to 和compare with是一样滴。

以下是引用foreverlei在2009/10/19 0:38:00的发言：
问一下 ， 比较级可以用compare 连接的不？

可以，还可以用relative to.

那为什么OG解释说 less .........compare to 是错的？
比较级用compare和relative to的情况，BZ能够举个句子当例子不？

能做比较。gmat貌似不区分compare to和compare with。

A，比较前一方是一句整句，比较后者也得具有主谓宾。

B，毛病和A一样。同时being多余，有个帖子专门说being的情况。如果表示一个特性，being句首可以省略，只有gerund-动名词表主语放句首时，being才需要。形容词本身就可以放句首。比如：
being the best beautiful, she fell in love with a prince X
the best beautiful, she fell in love with a prince OK
此句除去比较双方不平行的问题，开头less successful已经足够，being wordy。

C，正解。主谓宾比较主谓宾，清晰如崂山矿泉水。而且正如前面所说，being完全可以省略。

D，although和nevertheless重复，就好像although和but重复一样。

E，时态错误。完成时接在after这一部分，时间顺序上是后来发生。。。怎么能用完成时？完成时出现要发生在过去式之前。而且后者的比较无法含糊，事实上没法翻译，毛病和之前几个类似。
