请教这道题目的解题思路，谢谢

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times

that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times

that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio

CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

宾从that－排除DE;

主谓比较的合理性、compared to的逻辑主语－排除A；

as compared to的逻辑主语、their的指代、句子的罗嗦－排除C；

答案是B

philikittist

1 DE是名词，把句子改写成名词，句子的重心由event变成sb，必错。

2 on average和 average pay的问题：前者说的是一般来讲，Ceo挣的是工人的419倍，而average pay表示的是平均工资是419倍，意思有差别，常识上讲，调查的结论应该是确切的平均工资而不是大体的情况，特别是已经计算到如此，得出419这个数。BC out

3 B里面说 ratio compares~~,ratio 做compares 的主语说不通。

所以，我选A

所以，我选A

如果是A, 那compared to a ratio of 42 times的逻辑主语是谁?

B中的a ratio that compares to 42 times看起来是同位语从句补充解释419times的情况,ratio 不是做compares 的主语,而是同位语从句修饰词.

大家讨论?

谢谢Topterminater,

我觉得 “，过去分词作定语” 的确是由问题的形式。偶现在觉得B对了，谢谢你的指教。

还是不太明白，a肯定不对，可是我还是不明白a ratio that compares to 42 times的结构，a ratio是ets的惯用招数，指代前文的内容，可我觉得意应该是a ratio compared to 42 times啊？

指教!

谢谢！

c 选项中的their 指代blue -collar workers,有什么不对的呢

paopao

答案是B 应该没什么问题

只是a ratio that compares to 42 times in 1980 感觉不对啊

1 compare的主语只能是人 怎么能是ratio呢

2 要用compare with 不能用compare to 啊

3a ratio that compares to 42 times in 1980 总感觉意思读得怪怪的

谢谢

同感。

compare的主语只能是人 怎么能是ratio呢

compare的主语可以不是人，Longman有以下解释:

3. [intransitive]to be better or worse than something else
compare (favourably/unfavourably) with something
- The quality of English wines can now compare with wines from Germany.

不过我同意这道题里面不符合上面的条件，ratio不应该是主语.

a ratio that compares to 42 times in 1980 总感觉意思读得怪怪的

这就是GMAT SC难搞的地方了，单独来看，我肯定不会用这样的结构，不过比较下来，其他选项错误更多。感觉像在非洲里面选小白，
