1.        According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

The answer is A or C

LES

偶选C。

A中nearly与more，偶觉得逻辑矛盾。

以前有一题很类似的，也是在类似A与C的选项中争论，不过忘了那题选项中是否有本题A中上面提到的一点。

rhod

I choose C too.

A里面的are不必要; 而且likely in planning to practice的说法应该是unidiomatic的。

swiffer

我也选C。A中错用了be likely in doing sth的说法；而C中用了be likely to do sth的正确结构。

greeley

偶也选C,但C是不是倍数关系跟原题目不一样了?

为什么GWD 和 XY 答案给的是A呢？

jackie32

因为plan to do 是固定搭配所以选A？？
