这题我也不会。。。看看解释

Socially and environmentally responsible investing is on the rise: last year in the United States, over $2 trillion was invested in funds that screen companies according to a variety of criteria such as adherence to labor standards, protection of the environment, and observance of human rights.

A. according to a variety of criteria such as
B. according to a variety of such criteria, as by
C. according to such a variety of criteria as by
D. in accordance with such a variety of criteria as
E. in accordance with a variety of criteria, such as by



这道题曾经给出的答案是D。以前也因为这个受到了很多同学的质疑。最近我跟Manhattan GMAT的专家Ron Purewal联系过以后,将我们讨论的结果提供如下。

就A跟D之间的比较。

(1) according to vs. in accordance with

两者都有按照的意思(in a manner corresponding or conforming to),但是in accordance with后面一般跟随一个有权威性的条例,如规矩、惯例、标准等,强调要严格遵守。比如in accordance with the requirement that students must take a GMAT test to enter the graduate division of the school. 而according to相对就轻松的多,不是必须依从,而是做事的依据。

注意到原文句子开始部分responsibility的用法,也就是说这些criteria不是必须遵从的,而是投资者在投资时自愿考量的因素,所以A的according to更好一些。

(2) such X as Y vs. X such as Y

当X的内容清晰固定时,两者没有本质区别,但是D的问题在于,such到底在这里强调了criteria的内容,还是强调了variety的内容,根据as后紧跟的三个具体项目,应该是强调criteria,这种含混性使得D不如A好。

这个题目两个选项的差距实在太过微妙,使得该题目的能力区分度小,难度大,相信即使是对于750分以上的考生也不会构成结构性影响。

RON的SC是很灵的!不愧是考出800满分的人

我看这题就是根据RON的准则,看到as后免是adherence to labor standards// protection of the environment// and observance of human right。

都是a variety of criteria的分支,所以是such X as ....
