我选C
A中they和后面little...不对应；B中前面As for后面接着user，结果后半句主语又变成little...；D中“，which” 和E中“leading” 都说明是前面一整句话引起后面的结果，但是按句子的意思应该特指a form of deprivation

Helr-SC-2
Though they might be viewed as a form of deprivation, little more than a joint a day for regular users could have the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence that is engaged in by soda drinkers.
A. Though they might be viewed as a form of deprivation, little more than a joint a day for regular users could have the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence that is engaged in by soda drinkers.
B. As for regular users, little more than a joint a day may be viewed as a form of deprivation but leading soda drinkers engaged in the same kind of compensatory.
C. Though regular users may view little more than a joint a day as a form of deprivation, the deprivation itself can lead the soda drinkers to engage in the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence.
D. Little more than a joint a day for regular users, though, might be viewed as a form of deprivation, which could lead to the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence engaged in by soda drinkers.
E. Little more than a joint a day for regular users, though, may be viewed a form of deprivation, leading the soda drinkers to be engaged in the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence.

A:THOUGH 连接2个句子，主语最好有一个指代的一致关系；另外句子从逻辑意思上无法构成转折含义；杀
b: BUT前后不对称；
C:正确：
D: THOUGH充当什么成分呢，错！
E：view...as才是正确表达；leading无法修饰句子主语，也无法做伴随，错！

看到这里决定支持babybearmm对d选项的理解

btw. 这题如果我来写正确答案的话：

Although viewed as a form of deprivation, little more than a joint a day for regular users could have the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence that is engaged by soda drinkers.

对了，我去掉了"that is engaged in"后面的in. 其实我不知道为什么要加in...所以希望没改变原意。
因为语法上prep后必须接上名词不能悬挂。这点Ron和一些instructors都讲过。

INCORRECT: The man you laughed at ...  
CORRECT: The man at whom you laughed ...


INCORRECT: The book, which I refer to, ...
CORRECT: The book, to which I refer, ...

Incorrect versions在口语中经常出现，但是在书面语里不允许.

参考题目verbal review 2nd #20.
还有这个http://www.beatthegmat.com/speed-limit-long-one-t65314.html(B)项的"the speed limit continues to be fought over in our legislatures and on our freeways" is stylistically flawed.

从另一个角度说，G老师这道题"that is engaged in by soda drinkers"这里in和by串联也算错。
The official explanation also cites "a pile-up of prepositions" in "to be fought over in".


From Mitch (an instructor)

A preposition generally should be followed by an object:

Awkward: the movie that everyone is talking about. (No object follows the prepositionabout.)
Better: the movie about which everyone is talking. (Which is the object of the prepositionabout.)

I would be skeptical of an answer choice that offers a preposition not followed by a clear object -- especially when another answer choice avoids this issue and is free of errors. In B, over is not followed by an object; in E, over is directly followed by its object, the speed limit.

D, E里面的"though"的用法我还是觉得怪怪的，感觉这样不清楚哪部分和哪部分形成转折。不过只是感觉，我也不确定。可能是因为我没见过这样的正确句子吧，汗...
好吧，不蛊惑G老师泄密了，假如答案是D/E之一的话，我请求评点那个though，最好拿个正确的句子映证下。

恩，应baby姐的要求，我现在就点评一下那个though。 这个though，不表示在句子中连词形式的转折，表示一个插入语。 是little more than的一个修饰成分。意思好像，“每天尽管就多那么一点点也会被看成一种剥削”。 任何词汇，都可以作为插入语存在。不必要纠结于词汇的形式，因为两个逗号，已经表明了这是一个插入语。 上面那个engaged in 的问题，等正确答案公布时再公布哈~

D  可能用大麻和喝苏打酒做类比

关于which修饰的问题，个人以为应该循helr老师的看法，即合适而且无歧义的那个

OG12 27题为例

Paleontologists believe that fragments of a primate jawbone unearthed in Burma and estimated at 40 to 44 million years old provide evidence of a crucial step
along the evolutionary path that led to human beings.
(A) at 40 to 44 million years old provide evidence of
(B) as being 40 to 44 million years old provides evidence of
(C) that it is 40 to 44 million years old provides evidence of what was
(D) to be 40 to 44 million years old provide evidence of
(E) as 40 to 44 million years old provides evidence of what was

OG解释estimated这个词的时候用了这一句：

The jawbone fragments were estimated to be a certain age.

而不是The jawbone were ...

可见语法不是唯一的标准，意思也是判断修饰的条件（前提是不引起歧义）

本着尊重句子本意的原则来解题。

此题初看不知所云。原因就是句子用了一些稍微生僻的字词。
Joint: 大麻烟卷

例：He's smoking a joint.
他在吸大麻烟。

Compensatory over-indulgence：补偿性狂欢；补偿性过度吸食（大麻）

A: they 在逻辑意思上应该指代后面的little more than a joint a day for regular users。但是问题出现了，起码应该用it啊。
B: As 有问题，但是具体说不上来。but表转折应该前后平行，但是句子选项没有。
C: can lead 意义和could lead 不一样。根据逻辑意义应该用could. Though从句和后面句子的主语不一致。the deprivation itself can lead the soda drinkers to engage in the same kind of compensatory over-indulgence.表达的意义正好反了。原意应该是想表达吸大麻的减量后反弹吸食的更多 就好像 喝可口可乐苏打水那样的效果一样一样的。

D: 正确。Little more than a joint a day for regular users作主语中心思想突出。which从句清晰补足意思。
E: 同C.

我的答案选D.

************************************************************************************************************************************
************************************************************************************************************************************
区别：although和though同义，在一般情况下，可以互换使用。只是though较普遍，常用于非正式的口语或书面语中，而although则较为正式。另外although语气比though重，常用以强调让步概念。

 e.g. Though/Although my car is very old, I don't want to buy a new one.

 虽然我的汽车很旧，但我不想买一辆新的。

 He insisted on doing it although I warned him not to.

 虽然我警告他不要做，但他仍然坚持要做。

 even能和though组合表示强调，但even不能和although组合。因此，不能说even although,在这里even though=even if(no matter if; though即使……也……)

 e.g. Even if/Even though we could afford it, we wouldn't go abroad for our vocation.

 即使我们付得起这笔钱，也不出国度假。

 当让步状语从句指某种假设情况时，通常用though,而不用although。

 e.g. Though all the world were against me, I should still hold to my opinion.

 就算全世界都反对我，我还是坚持我的立场。

 Though everybody deserts you, I will not.

 即使所有人都抛弃你，我也不会的。

 though可以独立用作副词，常放在句末，意为all the same (还是；仍然)或however(可是；然而)，而although无此用法。

 e.g. She didn't tell me what she had done, but I know it though.

 她没有告诉我她所做的事情，但我还是知道了。

 It's hard work. I enjoy it, though.

 工作很苦，可是我喜欢。

 though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装，而although从句则不能。

 e.g. Bravely though they fought, they had no chance of winning.

 虽然他们打得很勇敢，但还是没有机会获胜。

 相同点：在although和though引导的让步状语从句中，主句里不可用but,若要强调前后两部分的对比意义，可在主句前加yet或still。

 e.g. Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy.

 他虽然有很多钱，但并不幸福。

 although和though引导让步状语从句时，常采用省略形式。

 e.g. Although tired (=Although he was tired), he kept on working.

 虽然很疲劳，但他继续工作。

 The problem, though complicated(=though it is complicated), can be solved without much difficulty.

 这个问题虽然复杂，但解决起来不会有很大困难。
