Competition in the mid-nineteenth century by large western farms gradually caused farmers in Pennsylvania to turn to livestock raising, but before that it was predominantly grain-producing.

A.Competition in the mid-nineteenth century by large western farms gradually caused farmers in Pennsylvania
to turn to livestock raising, but before that it was predominantly grain-producing.
B.Once predominantly a grain-producing state, competition in the mid-nineteenth century from large western farms gradually was causing Pennsylvania
’s farmers to turn to livestock raising.
C.Pennsylvania
’s farmers were gradually caused to turn to livestock raising by competition from large western farms in the mid-nineteenth century, but before that it was predominantly a grain-producing state.
D.It was once predominantly grain-producing, but competition in the mid-nineteenth century by large western farms was gradually causing Pennsylvania
’s farmers to turn to livestock raising.
E.Pennsylvania
was once a predominantly grain-producing state, but competition in the mid-nineteenth century from large western farms gradually caused the state’s farmers to turn to livestock raising.

A but前后转折不对应，前面说竞争导致blabla，but后面直接来了it，句意不合理，而且it指代不明确，至少需要读者琢磨，不符合gmat语法对正确答案的要求。
B was causing Pennsylvania blabla，正在导致…… ，逻辑语意混乱。
C 和A同样的毛病
D E相似，直接开比，大的区别在于前面 C用it，E直接把宾州说出来，显然E更清楚简洁。

所以答案果断选E，另外这题应该是全画线的。

第二道题

Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less, get better gas mileage, allow passengers to get in and out more easily, and have a smoother ride.

A.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers and, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

B.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, they cost less,

C.Minivans carry as many as seven passengers, in comparison with most sport utility vehicles, and have a lower cost, they

D.Minivans, carrying as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles, cost less,

E.Minivans, which carry as many as seven passengers, compared with most sport utility vehicles the cost is lower, and they

当时做错了错选了，读题，carry cost get allow应该往一致性上面考虑，这样子可以直接排除BCE
然后AD开比，首先A看不来有不一致的地方，然后根据语意，如果说，M这个东西，carry blabla，然年后他的cost blabla，就是说原句的意思是carry和cost并列，所以两个应该一直，果断选A

这个已经讨论过了，还是倡导大家都先看发帖问问题的一些建议，以及如何搜索的小tip～
http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-70615-1-1.html 这这里有很多讨论哈
无论是and  还是 as well as 前后都应保持一致，AC明显违反这个。
D  and also 意思重复
E creating 有名词形式creation就不prefer使用动名词～ 当然是在B无明显重大错误的情况下排斥E的

最后一题是OG12的题，答案选B。详解请参考OG。

请问NN,E中的state’s farmers 不是只有有生命的才能用这样的所有格吗

这个说法有点绝对哦，gwd的题和prep的题很多都不是的

我觉得minivans那道题应该选d，首先，选a的话，必然是carry and cost, get,allow,但最后又出来一个and了。。。

记得高中老师说过ing有表示能力的意思。。。就是说minivans能带7个人，所以，它有了后面四个优点

但是管卫东说第二题选D。怎么回事哦
