Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study indicate that the patterns of stress that

girls experience are more likely to result in depression than are those that boys experience.

(A) are those that boys experience

(B) what boys experience

(C) boys' experience would

(D) boys' stress patterns do

(E) stress patterns of boys

答案选A 解释说是为了避免歧义 但是我想问的是 those that boys experience 不是和the pattern of stress that girls experience 对应么 那么 为了避免歧义不是应该是those that boys experience are 而不是 are those that boys experience  如果是are those that boys experience  不是变成宾语了么 求大神解答

nope


the ambiguity should be followed:


more likely to result in depression than (in) those that boys experience


that is the precise reason why you cannot omit are




am I make my point clear?

但是如果加了are 不是使those that boys experience 变成了宾语了么 就不能和主语对应了啊？

nope  that is the basic grammar rule


in the latter part


those that boys experience  are likely to result in depression


those is still subject here


if you construed those as object， what is the subject？

yy910318

就像大神您说的 是those that boys experience  are likely to result in depression


而不是 are those that boys experience likely to result in depression

所以我不明白为什么先是are 然后是 those that boys experience  
如果这个是语法的用法的话那么我就明白了~只能特殊记忆了
