127. In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees’ paychecks, assigned by them to the United Nations.

(A) for their employees’ paychecks, assigned by them

(B) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned

(C) for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned

(D) in place of their employees’ paychecks, for those of them assigned（B）

(E) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them

題目中的assigned是派遣的意思，是指國外政府派遣員工到美國工作

132. According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation’s four-year colleges and universities.

(A) equivalent to the enrollment of

(B) the equivalent of those enrolled in

(C) equal to those who are enrolled in

(D) as many as the enrollment of（E）

(E) as many as are enrolled in

about 應當是做大約、大概的解釋，ABC是不選的，D則是錯誤導致enrollment與people比，錯誤，選E正確，這題OG的解答寫的清楚，請自行參考

First thank you. However, I wander the sentence construction of the 132.

Companies are providing.....for 8 million people, about as well as (the people) are enrolled......

I know that as well as is equal to "and", so I can’t understand why the subject is not in front of are
