218. (GWD7-Q4)题中
“从E可以看出，用than that in wheat或than does wheat都可以，”
应为
从E可以看出，用than that in wheat或than wheat does都可以，

ddbxyrj

173. 中 D选项的解释
the beginning of the universe was 应该是
the beginning of the universe to have been

ddbxyrj

198. (GWD-18-Q31) 后面补充中
4.比较从句的主语和位于与主句的主语和谓语相同时
应为                        谓语

ddbxyrj

“181. (GWD-24-38)”  的 “补充说明：” 中
(现在分词做状语表结果，OG154和259。)
154 的OG解释为
this sentence requires that the participial phrase setting free... connect to the gerund construction by filing a deed...; it was the filing of a deed that made possible the setting free ....
所以我认为 该分词不是做状语 而是就近修饰
意见有待商榷

PP1 172题

A contract 不是什么life insurance的同位语
Life insurance remained a contract 是主系表结构，a contract 为表语

在语法笔记的121页：一、            反向考法
既然一个考点可以正向考，如果不反向也考一考就没有难度了。反向的考法是，当前一个分句本来没有对后一个分句的宾语造成任何作用，题目却不断地引诱你去这样做。例如：
He went into the classroom and sit on thechair.(逻辑上很合理，只有进了教室才可以坐在椅子上)
这里的是不是应该改为sat啊？
ETS的干扰选项：He went into the classroom, sitting on thechair.(逻辑上就很荒谬了，在进教室这个动作发生的时候，他一直坐在椅子上)

在2.01版本里面讲到 so ...as to be 的用法，但是不是特别清楚。我后来查了英文网站上的一些解释，觉得这样记忆比较好：So + ADJECTIVE + as to + VERB
- "Her debts are so extreme as to threaten
her company." (Correct)

我看到只有So后面跟形容词是正确的，如果so后面跟了动词或者名词，都不能用as to了。

The official answer is: demonstrably weak, it was not so weak as to require


Congress is debating a bill requiring certain employers provide workers with unpaid leave so as to care for sick or newborn children. (incorrect)
The official answer is: to provide workers with unpaid leave so that they can

Several years ago the diet industry introduced a variety of appetite suppressants, but some of these drugs caused such severe stomach disorders as to be banned by the Food and Drug Administration. (incorrect)
The official answer is: such severe stomach disorders that they were

个人认为语法笔记上关于时态的解释不好。我把在这个讨论贴里的发过来：
http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-645735-1-1.html

“B. after it had fallen时态上没有问题，可以与over the last two years搭配，但是不如after falling简洁” _from语法笔记

这个解释不准确。把B选项代入原句
The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits,
B.      which had increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it had fallen
那么整个句子的时态就是：一般现在时，过去完成时，过去完成时
发现问题了么？就是时态间存在gap——跳跃了过去时。Manhattan那本书里面说过在一个句子里面时态不能有"gap" （p111),比如不能：
The scientist BELIEVED that the machine WILL BE wonderful.
所以B选项时态就是错的。改成which increased ... after it had fallen就对，也表明了时间顺序的逻辑关系，也可以是which have increased ... after it fell。这两者之间我更倾向于后者（前者也不能说错吧），原因是从逻辑上理解，
The results ... are evident in its profits, which
主句are一般现在时，用现在完成时能够很好的表达“过去的事情对现在产生影响”这个逻辑含义，所以更preferred。
