133. (31602-!-item-!-188;#058&004586)



In the past several years, astronomers have detected more than 80 massive planets, most of them

as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle other stars.



(A) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter, which circle

(B) most of them as large or larger than Jupiter and circling

(C) most of them at least as large as Jupiter, circling

(D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle  

(E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling

D C

想问下 MOSTLY为什么错呢 谢谢

本题主考的是修饰的单一性，我认为C对。

C中circling 修饰的是前面astronomers的detect的行为

D jubiter，which circle中circle 应该就近修饰jubiter应该是单数。

那个不是考试分析点啊。我个人觉得，词汇差异不是GMAT考试重点。我是这样分析的:as large as or greater than,要完整,所以只有CD, 比较区别circling
, which circle: 请问，那个星球是转一次呢还是不停的转啊?? 你要是明白这个就知道选什么了

解析有说MOSTLY是副词所以不合适 我主要是想问这个

中间是插入语 CIRCLING修饰PLANET的

哦，这样啊。我语法烂，我只知道怎么能把题目答案搞出来。细节语法一概不问。

(D) mostly at least as large as Jupiter, which circle  

(E) mostly as large or larger than Jupiter, circling
题目释义：过去的几年内，天文学家已经探测到了80多颗大型卫星围绕其他星球旋转，其中大多数的大小至少与木星相当。选项分析：

A as large or larger than 结构不完整，缺少一个as；which引导的定语从句转而修饰Jupiter，改变原句本意

B as large or larger than 结构不完整，缺少一个as； and circling 没有并列项，而且逻辑含义不通顺

C at least as large as =as large or larger than as 表达正确；circling引导定语，修饰massive planets，逻辑含义正确

D mostly本该是massive planets的修饰词，但是mostly是副词，不可以修饰名词；which引导的定语从句转而修饰Jupiter，改变原句本意

E mostly本该是massive planets的修饰词，但是mostly是副词，不可以修饰名词；as large or larger than 结构不完整，缺少一个as
