几题kaplan做错的题目讨论

primefang

1。 Out of the public's interest in the details of and conflicts in ( other people's lives have grown a booming market for "reality" television shows that are bringing ) "regular" people onto the television screen with increasing frequency.

D other people's lives has grown a booming market for "reality" television shows that are bringing

E other people's lives has grown a booming market for "reality" television shows that bring.

答案是D，请问如何判断用进行时态还是一般现在时态

2。 请教，more/ greater,   less/lower 的用法，  我知道more 是跟amount, greater 是跟number,

expenditure 应该用lower还是less 那？是不是more 和 less对应，greater 和lower 对应?所以expendiure 作为抽象概念用lower, 不知理解是否对

3。Those thw

能否解答一下，，自己先ding一下。

1. booming可能有这种意思上的暗示。

2. 能不能把题目贴出来。个人觉得less和lower也许都能修饰expendiure，less现在的适用范围好像更广些。具体在gmat中二者的优劣，我也不是很清楚，如果如你所说其它都一致的情况下答案用lower来修饰expendiure，那么你的解释我认为还是有道理的，只是我无法用更多的gmat中的例子来佐证。

Although the government’s ( expenditures on law suits involving tobaccos companies amount to a sum dramatically lower than ) that spent by tobacco companies, many believe that the government should allocate no more funds to a battle they perceive as pointless.

A.

B. expenditures on law suits involving tobaccos companies amount to a sum dramatically less than

jnlvo， 原题如此， 个人感觉gmat目前不会太考这种小细节，你觉得那， 不过把问题搞清楚还是很好多的

kaplan和ETS思路差别确实不小。所以我觉得kaplan语法的价值不大。不过辩证的看其注释，多讨论，还是会有不小的收获。

这题我倒觉得是看a sum 来分别，跟number一样比的是高低，所以用lower。

同意 ， 是a sum 在比较， 修饰语还是没有看清楚，，，

现在已经复习了2个月了， 觉得语法最难点在于，修饰和时态，又中刀了：）
