以下是引用rhod在2004-9-5 16:46:00的发言：

这里CEO's是CEO的复数表达，不是所有格表达.

在某些首字母缩略的单词里，其复数形式可以加上s或's. 如:

VIP(Very important person), VIP's, VIPs
POW(prisoner of war), POW's, POWs

嗯!我觉得是因为要是不加'而直接加s的话,CEOs会导致像一个缩写(像MSc)而不是缩写的复数

新的模考软件答案是c,有人同意c的吗？

难道新的模考软件除了数学，其他题也有bug?

为什么their不能指ceo's呢？难道用逻辑可以排除歧义？

b为什么错呢？是不是后面compares to 42 times in 1980,省略的太多，不完整了？

新的莫考里面有答案,是c.

我觉得b的错误在于，compares to ，作为主动的用法，这个词组的一意思是：比喻为~~

而as compared to 是较为固定的用法，是as something be compared to sth，...和...比较的时候。

勉强的说通了

至于大家说的代词的问题,这里真的是不能认真(为了配合答案) ,因为如果真的较真儿,这几个答案没有一个是没有问题的.只能说c的错误要少些.

The Pew study also shows that the gender ration of wired seniors has changed from 60 percent men and 40 percent women to a 50-50 ration, which compares to the national average.

可能原来讨论的答案B需要更正，我做了GmatPrep，刚好遇到这题，里面给出的答案是C，我估计可能是因为compare主动被动的差别引起的

我prefer C

CR原题：

The number of people diagnosed as having a certain intestinal disease has dropped significantly in a rural county this year, as compared to last year. Health officials attribute this decrease entirely to improved sanitary conditions at water-treatment plants, which made for cleaner water this year and thus reduced the incidence of the disease.

但是如果是C的话，

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

这个their 和the ratio又都指代谁呀？都是什么成分呀？

越看越糊涂了……
