SC-9
The Environmental Protection Agency frequently puts mandatory controls on toxic substances that present as little risk as one in a million chances to cause cancer.
A as little risk as one in a million chances to cause
B as little risk as one chance in a million of causing
C as little risk as one chance in a million that it will cause
D a risk as little as one chance in a million for causing
E  a risk as little as one chance in a million for it to cause
我选的是E，但是答案是B。不过说实话，我觉得这五个哪个读起来都不太顺。。。one chance in a million of causing...感觉很奇怪。大家怎么看这道题？

SC-25
There is a widespread belief in the United States and Western Europe that young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents and that the source of the change lies in the collapse of the "work ethic."
A a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
B less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
C a smaller commitment to work and career than that of their parents and grandparents
D less of a mommitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents had
E a lessening of the commitment to work and a career that their parents and grandparents had

答案是D。我觉得这道题是有考平行并列的，young people have 对parents and grandparents had...但是现在的问题是，这个have是一般现在时呀，它要平行也只能和do 或者是 did平行呀。出来一个had。。是在想不明白。请高手赐教哈~

我觉得D E错在 as little as one chance这个不可比吧
一般是as +adj+a/an +n +as..这里risk是不可数 所以就不用冠词
C 没有B 简洁 A 错在one后缺少成分  应该是就像百万分之一中患癌症的那样风险很低。。（囧，我语言表达不行，将就了，仅是愚见）

第二个。。额其实，其他几个选项都是明显错的。。。D更好。。我觉得GMAT不管啥题都没有一个唯一的最好，只有更好。
