31. Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(A)  Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(B)  Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, which they admit they lack, many people are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(C)  Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree.

(D)  Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(E)   Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.

In E, have a disinclination... while willing（adj） is grammatically incomplete,

and admit their lack should be admit to their lack.

看了前人对og31的讨论，大家主要针对while 在提问。

我想问为什么admit sth 所了呢？

金山词霸上的例子是 he admitted his crime. 他承认罪行。

这里为什么不能用admit their lack呢？？

longman：admit to (doing) something，没有admit sth 的词条，只有固定搭配admit defeat /evidence ，故尽管admit crime也许可被认为是固配不算错，但多数情况应用admit to something或者说它优于admit sth 。
