搜索了很多帖子，国内的国外的，有的说答案是E，有的说答案是D，在学习如何分析之前，有哪位大神指点下，正确答案到底是啥啊...

答案选E，句子平行问题，and后面要跟前面平行，用名词difficulty

感谢楼上，最开始的疑问起源于听赵丽的新东方网络课堂，此题为"GMAT语法-赵丽"->四大出题原则->artII真题05-07中的第7题,Slide和解说都说答案为D，可是觉得应该是E，后来去网上各种论坛搜，D和E的答案基本一半一半。
比如新东方在线课堂对于该疑问的回复居然也有两个版本:

一 选D http://ask.koolearn.com/topic/show/339432.page
同学你好，感谢你对新东方在线网络课堂的支持，
and 连接的是两个并列的句子，be动词的句子。第一个分句的be动词是are,用and 连接后面的句子，也要有动词，即is。

一 选E http://ask.koolearn.com/topic/show/330304.page
同学，你好。我们会尽快做出调整，谢谢你对我们课程的关注和认真的学习。祝你学习愉快

(B) that mortgage rates are high, housing in the new location costs more, and that it is difficult to sell the old home - - not parallel, third element is out of way


(C) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and that the old home is difficult to sell --not parallel, third element is out of way

(D) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and it is difficult to sell the old home - not parallel


(E) high mortgage rates, the greater cost of housing in the new location, and the difficulty of selling the old home- correct

简直就是坑爹！！！

楼主这题是从哪来的啊？我还没开始做题，所以问下，呵呵
我觉得这题就看主语就行，common reasons，然后就是三个列举，肯定用同一形式。

回楼上，赵丽的新东方网络课堂，此题为"GMAT语法-赵丽"->四大出题原则->artII真题05-07中的第7题,Slide和解说都说答案为D

赵丽说的貌似也是D，只是做slide那个人中文听力太差了

陈小饭

赵丽说的是D，slide也是D，但是很多论坛上都说是E，我自己也觉得是E，新东方网络课堂的在线答疑也有两个版本如上

E 就算赵丽选D 考场上碰到我还是会选E

赵丽说的是D，slide也是D，但是很多论坛上都说是E，我自己也觉得是E
