Gwd5-Q14:

Even though more money was removed out of stock funds in July as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as an industry trade group had previously estimated.

as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as

as had been in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

than there was in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as that which

than in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as

than in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

   answer：e

第一题是be as weak as some analysts previously thought

第二题是were not as low as what an industry trade group had previously estimated

只讨论以上，as adj as 后面为什么　有两种不同用法？

第二题选e，可能是主要觉得other不应少，要把自身July排除（具体可在参见置顶帖中的相关帖子，好像当时还有些争议）。个人认为如果是than in any other month since October , sales of fund shares in July were not as low as, 少what会更好些。

考试时就遇到这么类似一题对what多和少进行区别的，当时选的是有what的，感觉是错了。对此考点现在还不是很清楚，希望有NN看到此帖能来指点一二。

目前为止，偶的认识还是：what在第一题中是被省略了；而在第二题中保留了。

Just for your reference.

Actually, it is better to dispense with "what" in this structure. But I don't think it is wrong when "what" is not omited.

Therefore, due to the fact that the "other" is indispensible, choice E of Gwd5-Q14 should be correct.

More often than not, "what" seems more acceptable than when it is omitted to a tyro of GMAT. I guess  that in some other subjects ETS is likely to insert a mistake in the choice with "what" whereas the choice without "what" is the correct one. But this is not the case for Gwd5-Q14 . So probably the D without "what" is a trap for a veteran of GMAT .

呵呵，NN们都发表过意见了，偶就搬个凳子捧捧场吧.

谢谢大家了！！！

我支持LES，按照LZM和BY的说法，what应该是有的，但遇到什么thought呀，estimated就可以省去作为习惯用法而不用考虑时态。个人意见：）

对了，还想问一下，as....as的结构如果是否定句，是不是可以not...so....as？在否定句中，so....as和as....as有没有哪个更优先？

GWD－7－Q32有没有更好、更详细的解释？C为什么不对啊？

C单从语法结构上来说没有错,但不好的地方是用了被动语态

ah_eric

c中应该是has been 吧
