187
Results of a United States study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine have shown that college-educated women and women living in the South and West are significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than women living in the Northeast and Midwest.
这是旧prep187题 这道题的格式是 women1 and women2 are more likely to use hormones than women3

132.    (31781-!-item-!-188;#058&006523)
A study published in the British Medical Journal showed that women who ate nuts more than five times a week were about one third less likely to suffer from coronary heart disease than were those who ate no nuts at all.

但在132题里 就是  women1 were less likely to do sth than were women2(those指代)

132 和187简化的比较格式都一样，为什么187的women3前面没有加上were呢？

但与旧prep2的两道题矛盾了
93.    (29409-!-item-!-188;#058&004276)
A study on couples' retirement transitions found that, unlike men who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers, women who did so were more likely than those who retired completely to report high marital satisfaction.
这道题是 women1 were more likely than women2 to report satisfaction.

个人感觉（我没有做新prep破解），要看你的选项的对比，187 和132都是正确的，系动词在这两个句子里面都是可省可有的。关键是你的其它选项有没有其它的错误~~~

93也是如此，因为前后系动词和时态一样，所以理所当然是可以省略的，但是如果加上的话也不能算错吧。

187， 93 是主语比较
132 是主谓比较。

对于是否补出be 动词， Manhattan instructor说只要没有歧义， 就不需要补出（这一点似乎与比较之庖丁解牛那位姐姐的总结有点矛盾）。

132 其他选项都有错误， 只有E 相对较好。
