60. (27763-!-item-!-188;#058&003346)

Mideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed virtually every other immigrant group in the

increasingly diverse United States economy.

(A) Mideast immigrants' rates of entrepreneurship exceed

(B) Mideast immigrants are exhibiting rates of entrepreneurship exceeding

(C) Immigrants from the Mideast exhibit rates of entrepreneurship exceeding those of

(D) The rates of entrepreneurship in immigrants from the Mideast exceed

(E) The rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship exceeds those of

答案解释说E选项使用双重所有格,错误
答案E中 rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship ,而双重所有格指的难道不是the rates of immigrants’吗？？？？？？

这个根本不是双重所有格

A of B‘s 这是双重所有格

A of B’ C 这不是双重所有格  其实这是为了避免写成 A of C of B

E的错误不是双重所有格错了  而是 exceeds 后面要跟 rates of entrepreneurship ，而前文没有这个的格式出现，those就指代rates了 这样逻辑意思就不对了 变成中东部移民的创业比率 和其它移民的比率的对比 少掉了创业这个限制

The rates of Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship exceeds those of virtually every other immigrant group in the

increasingly diverse United States economy.

这样就变成了 the rates of ---those of  

Mideast immigrants' entrepreneurship---every other immigrant group. （这两个是不平行的，不能用来比较）

* "Mideast immigrants" is wrong; "immigrants from the Mideast" is better. ("Mideast" can't be used as an adjective of nationality, for the same reason you can't say "Asia people" in place of "people from Asia".)
