一道全划线题
Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.

(A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.
(B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle.
(C) Bicycles are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States.
(D) In the United States, three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles.
(E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States, bicycles are also owned by three.
首先 B  D单复数不对干掉
剩下的A说  三个人有一辆自行车 不对
剩下C E无法判断
但是答案是A 啊有木有！！！

明显木有啊。C、E。。。你还能说出比这两句更纠结的话么。。。。
理论上，如果A是 Three automobile owners out of every four就完美了，不过这么说也没问题。
先说E，句子怎么可能以three结尾呢，三个啥呀。。。
owners of automobiles。。。怎么会有这样的说法。。。又没有复杂修饰，automobile owners不好么？再说owners of automobiles 说的是拥有多辆汽车的车主

可是A选项   的意思是三个人才有一辆自行车   这明显不对啊

chaomat1988

为什么我觉得他的意思是每4个中的三个 有汽车的人有一辆自行车呢，，意思没错啊

(A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.
(B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle.
(C) Bicycles are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States.
(D) In the United States, three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles.
(E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States, bicycles are also owned by three.

首先这道题目的意思是：在美国，3/4的美国人，他们在拥有汽车的同时，也拥有自己的自行车。3/4的美国人做为主语，谓语肯定是复数。至于后面的自行车，我个人认为无所谓了，a bicycle 和bicycles都可以。a bicycle的话，意思是在3/4的美国人里面，每个有汽车的美国人同时有一辆自行车。如果是bicycles的话，就是每个有汽车的美国人同时有几辆自行车。
A项没有错误。准确无误，并且主动性，简略性原则体现出来了。
B项很诡异的，三个有汽车的美国人拥有一辆自行车，换成是我，我不干啊~自行车怎么也得比汽车便宜吧。。。何必搞成这样子呢？另外，就算美国愿意分享share的话，own这个谓语是复数的
C项语法是没有什么错误的，一点错误都没有，就是别扭的不行。和A项相比，A简单明了，而且A项强调的重心是3/4的有汽车的美国人，C项重心是自行车。重心感觉发生了转移。在GMAT中，如果不是发生了Correctiveion错误的前提下，正确答案选项永远都是和A选项方向相一致的答案，就是A主动的话，正确答案是主动性，跟着A走。但是：这个原则只有在Correctiveness没有逻辑错误，没有任何语法错误的情况下，是从effectiveness的角度来判定的。
D 谓语错误。own错误。
E很明显不能选。Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States是要修饰American的,但是E这句话中的主语是 bicycles，这个是犯了Correctiveness中的Agreement中错误。

希望你满意！

谢谢诸位了！！！

理论上确实有你说的那个问题，不过这句话应该被改成 each three out of 。。。。owns 。。。因为如果把三个人看作一个整体，需要加each，而且谓语要用单数。

用了owns的选项肯定可以排除，因为和复数主语不对等，排除BD。在选择语义的时候主动语态优于被动语态。明显A选项表达是最清晰的。

own 不是第三人称单数，主谓一致，说的就是三个人每人有一辆自行车哈
