这道题简化一下,就是让你选下面哪个更好:


    

A research
finds that 3 times as many people eat lunch in front of a computer as eat at a
table.  (D)


    

A research finds
that 3 times as many people eat lunch in front of a computer as those eating at
a table. (E)


    

我觉着E is  better.


    

E里面的"charging over $16000" 是做定语来修饰"those". E is like:


    

"3
times as many instituations do xxxx as those (charging over $16000)"

E更接近"3
times as many instituations do xxxx as those who charge over $16000"

大家忽略了一点

就是e中的those代词使用错误

gmat是正规的商务英语,that,those单独不能作为代词.在og所有比较中凡是用that,those比较的都是that of.....those of.....

这里e中those 直接只待institution是严重错误的事情啊!!!!

d绝对正确

该有个结论了,是D,99%把握!!

我认为是这样的(总结了前面牛人的思想)

132. According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities.
(A) equivalent to the enrollment of
(B) the equivalent of those enrolled in
(C) equal to those who are enrolled in
(D) as many as the enrollment of
(E) as many as are enrolled in
The phrases equivalent to in A, the equivalent of in B, and equal to in C have too broad a range of meanings to be used precisely here: that is, they can suggest more than merely numerical equality. Also, as quantitative expressions, equiva­lent and equal often modify nouns referring to uncountable things, as in "an equivalent amount of resistance" or "a volume of water equal to Lake Michigan." To establish numerical comparability between groups with countable members, the phrase as many as is preferable. Choice D, however, uses this phrase improperly in comparing eight million people to enrollment, not to other people. The comparison in E, the best choice, is logical because people is understood as the subject of are enrolled.
92. Never before had taxpayers confronted so many
changes at once as they had in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
(A) so many changes at once as they had in
(B) at once as many changes as
(C) at once as many changes that there were with
(D) as many changes at once as they confronted in
(E) so many changes at once that confronted them in
Choice D is the best answer, stating grammatically and clearly that, with the 1986 Tax Reform Act, taxpayers confronted more simultaneous changes than ever before. In choice A, the past perfect had [confronted] illogically places the 1986 events in the same time frame as Never before had...; a simple past tense is needed to present the 1986 events as following the earlier ones. Choices B and C awkwardly place at once between confronted and its direct object, changes. Furthermore, B illogically states that the Act itself was many changes, when the point is rather that it presented many changes, and as many ... that is an unidiomatic comparison. Choice E, too, presents an unidiomatic comparison with so many... that.
168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

如果要是比较主语,且前后两个分句主语相同的,后一个分句都省略的主语,不省是错的,相当于是those who等;

如果比较的是宾语,则后一分句需要补充完整主语及谓语部分,不补也是错的,因为不明确。

更重要的是as……as后肯定是要跟句子的

以下是引用nautic在2005-6-22 10:04:00的发言:

大家不能简单地拿几道OG出来,判断题目应该选什么。

as...as 得比较对象有两种:

一种是比较动作sth/sb do (I took gmat as early as you did)

另外一种是比较名词sth., (I got a gmat score as high as yours)

在这道题目里,

D是as institutions charge, 比较动作

E是as those,比较名词(charging是修饰those)

然后,看句子前面的比较主体:as many institutions(主语) charge(谓语) tuition and fees(宾语),所以,后面的比较应该是D those(institutions) charge(谓语)

但是,E不是错在语法。如果前面的句子改成: there are 5000 institutions charging tuition and fees as many as 后面就应该用E, those charging...

错误难免,请指正。

Nice shot!
谢谢分享。

大全164是反例。

嗯 各位大大 在事隔很久很久之後.....

中間還發生了 我寫了兩封信去催 "一踢A死"告訴他們偶沒有收到回信

今天 收到 ETA屎的來信了

ETHAN (Y)

回信如下 :

=============================================

Thank you for your message concerning question 89 in the Sentence Correction
section of The Official Guide for GMAT Review. You indicated that you did
not understand why the corrected sentence used the plural verb "were"
instead of the singular "was."

The corrected sentence reads as follows:

A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one
microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were
four years ago.

In the sentence, the word "microcomputers" is omitted as understood after
"four times as many." Since the plural noun "microcomputers" is the implied
subject of the verb, the verb must be plural (were) and not singular (was).
                                    

We appreciate your having taken the time to let us know about your concern.
Inquiries such as yours help us to maintain and improve the quality of the
GMAT.
===============================================
 結論:as many as there were
                        microcomputers for pupils
four years ago
