39. (26509-!-item-!-188;#058&002648)
The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex where final tryouts are held for athletes representing the United States in the Olympics, is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation for international competition.
(A) is geared toward enhancing athletes' performance and toward their preparation
(B) is geared to enhance the performance of athletes and to prepare them
(C) are geared to enhance athletes' performance and their preparation
(D) are geared toward the enhancement of athletes' performance and toward preparing them
(E) are geared toward enhancing the performance of athletes and preparing them

答案是E可是为什么b不对呢？感觉 sports medicine programs 应该用单数阿。。因为还有个同位语complex阿。
谢谢！

zewend

a complex...作Olympic Training Center的同位语
本句主语 应该是of 之前的S M Programs 所以谓语动词用are 排除A B
C and后面their preparation与之前的Programs不对应
D 第二个toward应该省略


也不知道分析的对不……见笑 各位……

zewend

prep语法有个很好的详细答案 内个很好地
lz 应该下个 来用用 嘿

gmatziyu

The Sports Medicine Programs of the Olympic Training Center, a complex 。。。。

如果有...of...的情况 of前面的是主语
各位 对吧?

zxkingsey

a of b 主语是a，但是在a of b that结构中要注意that有修饰a 或者 b的可能

不对，C其实也平行是athletes performance和their preparation的平行。语意上也讲得过去

这题是词素的问题，be geared to+sb,some particular place, et al
be geared toward加目的

GMAT很多语法题初看看也许很多人蒙对了，仔细看很多内容还是建立在对英语单词词素的理解上的

接楼上问问 什么是词素？be gared to 表词素神么意思？

请问E选项and后面为什么省略了toward啊，平行结构中什么时候可以省略什么时候不可以省略啊
