(B) many wages in nearby factories

(C) what are offered by many nearby factories

(D) it is in many nearby factories（E）

(E) that offered by many nearby factories

我知道那个rate是不能和wages去比的，但是觉得被其他factories offered的rate 不应该是一个，应该是复数才对，所以觉得what are offered才对。请NN指点！

842，C的时态不对。

845，TO DO表示将来，不能用在这里

877，OG应该有解释。

snowflower, you may be influnced deeply by BaiDaXia. A problem about "hurrican" mentioned by him in his online classroom. He said that the first, second... should be followed with "to be". Anyway, I suggest you grasp the structure of the sentence, the most important strategy to cope with GMAT SC. Do not hold the principle instructed by XDF as a absolute truth.

By the way, I recommend you to read OG through and through. All your questions are explained clearly in OG.

To be discussed...

thanks, i will

845, the first plant built by:过去分词作定语表被动和过去，用to be build作定语表被动很不简洁，而且象是表将来。至于the first 后用不定式看来只有在修饰成分（就是定语）是主动的时候适用。

877：A，began可以在1905，were armed也只能在1905吗？可能旅行持续到1905以后。they多余。

842：that是替代，表示同一类的东东，意思上应该能说的通。不能用those，因为前面是rate。

不过偶觉得D改为 the hourly rates offered by many nearby factories

请NN发表高见。

请教TIANWANGG，SC的总结该怎么做啊？？？

tianwan

厚着脸皮说2句。

1，作题的思路和讨论的思路要标注在题目旁边，第二遍作的时候参考，第二次作又会有新的思路，再加上去。如此周而复始。

2，CD上有很多高人的总结，搜索一下，多看几遍。

3，不仅题目要做对，还要看懂。

謝謝tianwan,你太謙虛了﹗
