(A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks

(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

answer:e,我看到后面ㄉbroadcast是复数,就把有each的删调ㄌ(a,d,e)选了c----〉each作同位语不影响谓语的数。

3. Similar to rising interest rates, consumer and producer prices have been rising.
(B) Consumer and producer prices have been rising, as have interest rates.
(C) As interest rates are rising, so have consumer and producer prices.

(A) As virtually all the nation's 50 busiest airports are
(C) Like virtually all of the nation's 50 busiest airports

answer:c,why not a,是意思上的不同嗎---〉a的时态明显错，看到are就排除。like比as简洁。A的all修饰有歧义，all the nations 还是 all ... airports?

5. Last spring a Colorado health department survey of 72 playgrounds in private child-care centers found unsafe conditions in 95 percent of them and they ranged from splinters to equipment near collapse.
(D) that 95 percent had unsafe conditions ranging
(E) that 95 percent of them had conditions that were unsafe; the range was

answer:d,我选了e,因为我觉得d的95%不知指什么,而e的95%有指代清楚(95% playgrounds)这样对吗---->percent是名词，them省略。E的句子冗长含糊，that were unsafe罗嗦，the range无修饰语限定，意思不明。

请指正。请楼主以后每题一贴，体谅要和你讨论的XDJM。
