87. (29293-!-item-!-188;#058&003892)
Results of a United States study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine have shown college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living in the Northeast and Midwest.
(A) college-educated women and women living in the South and West to be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women living
(B) college-educated women and women living in the South and West as significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they are living
(C) college-educated women and those living in the South and West being significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than if they lived
(D) that college-educated women and women who live in the South and West are significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as were women that lived

50  Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study indicate that the patterns of stress that girls experience are more likely to result in depression than are those that boys experience.
(A) are those that boys experience
(B) what boys experience
(C) boys' experience would
(D) boys' stress patterns do
(E) stress patterns of boys
      87题中 第二个women前不需加be动词，women (living in A) are more likely to use
      hormones than women (living in B).  从语法上而言，这个不是肯定要错的吗？为何不用补出are,看了很多人的解释帖子，有的说如果是比use 第二个women前腰加to，但是如果比的是hormone和women，这两个use的对象呢？那不加to在语法上也是没错的啊？感觉这种解释不在点上啊？不知道牛们能否给解释下啊？  
50题中，几乎是一摸一样的结构，这个就果断补出了动词啊。是这两题有区别么？求解释！！

LZ这个其他情况我觉得可以这样解释：

因为比较是在一个主系表的结构，主系表的后面的比较对象应该只有主语就可以了，因为表语和主语事实上是等价的概念，不同于主谓宾，需要补出谓语动词避免和宾语发生比较。

aeoluseros

没有区别. 对于be more likely to这样的主系表结构，如果是主语比较，且系动词不补出并不会产生歧义，则系动词可省。其实类似的比较形式在语法笔记2008里也有提到

aeoluseros

嗯，这个帖子说的就是be more likely to ... than和be as likely to as的主系表结构。这个结构里如果是主语比较，而且系动词补出与否都不会产生歧义，那么比较词后的系动词可省可不省。

膜拜aeo大神ING~~~~
最近碰到很多比较的题目自己在总结动词是不是要补出的问题就看到了这个贴~~


不过有个小问题~
(1) 主语比较1：
Stresses that girls experience are more likely to result in depression than are those boys experience.
à补出，主语比较，因为than前面比较成分已经包含了完整主谓宾，所以要补出are来表明是主语比较。


这边是不是需要写成are those THAT boys experience? 还是可以连that也一起省略？
默默说我第一次读的时候读成了those修饰boys然后想了好一会....

若雪说得太棒了，嗯，这里少打了字。不过若雪说的正是有时候先行词明明在定语从句里做宾语，却要补出关系代词的原因之一。

当时有人说可以走conserve的路线，没问题了解，但是看到笔记上n多人是在分析助动词对应问题，所以想求证各位怎么由主动入手推的，主要从ABC说明就可以

主动入手?momo...不明白诶

感谢aeo大n，醍醐灌顶！
很多时候确实像nn所说，是要根据语意判断，没有绝对准则，这就是gmat的可恶之处
