GWD Set 7 T4(继续讨论）

同意  puccamummy的观点，偶也认为应该选E，B缺少比较物噢

hawkinsxie

我选A。

1）破折号表示后面的是同位语，类似于用一个新名词

2）B不好，因为没有比较对象,  fewer不如less好，当表示多少的时候的比较级

3）E不好，用一个adj.作dangling modifier却不能修饰主句主语

A is not the nest answer.

A lot of writings in AP news or Nytimes news suggest that using of "ones" is frequently used by native writers.

Examples:

"A lot of the courses, like Pinehurst, the ones that are essentially all green, you have to really, really search for that perfect lighting," she continued. "Otherwise the painting would just be incredibly boring."--from today's nytimes;

But when highly respected legal experts on civil liberties, including ones favoring same-sex marriage, raise the same possibility, their concerns cannot be dismissed as partisan debating points.

--------also from today's nytimes.

the answer is e

我也选A，可数名次在可以用less来表示数量上的区别，而且这里也不存在B的缺少those的情况，或者E中用the ones歧义的情况

vanessawhy

这是一种比较词than或者 as之后出现主语省略的情况

1.        In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

(A) Americans were killed as

(B) Americans were killed than

(C) Americans were killed than those who

(D) more Americans were killed as there（A）

(E) more Americans were killed as those who

这是OG里的一道题目

答案是A  在as 和would later be killed之间省略了 americans

这么说，shark的那一题正确答案还是应该是B， 首先fewer的用法是对的，虽然说less在MW字典里可以这样用，可是它也说了这是新近的用法，不代表出题的就接受。很多语法书的语法点gmat也是不接受的。

其次，have been与前面的时态是呼应的。

B is the answer. To the friend on the 16th floor, the two questions are quite different, and hence can't be compared.

这道题很阴险阿，ETS设置了很多陷阱，首先B的破折号会让人有比较插入语成分的歧义，所以不能选B

其次，答案E之所以用The ones而不是those，因为those会有歧义指代插入语的movies，只有the ones才能指代前面的复数人

OG上的这道题目被引用了好几次，但我认为OG上的题目和GWD这道题目有一个非常大的区别，那就是OG里被省略的成分是“Americans"，在主句是泛指。如果将之补全，就是
In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as Americans
            would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

但GWD里这道题主句的主语是Seven people，如果将B省略的主语补全，则变成了
Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—fewer than seven people
            have been killed by bee stings.

怎么说也是不合乎逻辑的。另外B中破折号的用法我认为也很有问题，B中破折号变成了强调修饰的对象是movies

我个人觉得正确答案还应该是E. Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies, fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.

其实完全可以将E稍微改写一下以帮助理解：
Only seven people , fewer than the ones killed by bee stings, this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies.

1）those 代词修饰核心成分
2）能省略所有的谓语吗？
