OG13-20怎么就木有人问呢

16. Retail sales rose 0.8 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

(A) that personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubled that of
(B) that personal spending in the July–September quarter would more than double
(C) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it more than doubled
(D) of personal spending in the July–September quarter more than doubling that of
(E) of personal spending in the July–September quarter, that it would more than double that of

这题按og上的思路AB的区分点在于would在表达上与expectation的对应上，这个我明白
可是到底为什么personal spending可以和1.4%growth rate比啊?? 这难道不是很明显的一个错误吗？


求NN指教！

来个人讨论一下也好啊...

这里more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate，其中double是动词是加倍的含义，more than是副词
逻辑语义：随着八月份零售额的上升了0.8%，该预期认为：第三季度的个人消费将会使该季度的个人消费增长率在上一季度的1.4％的基础上番倍

哦哦我明白了, 看来遇到more than就找平行的坏毛病我是该好好改一改了!既然遇到热情的CDer了，那我再请教一下好啦~谢谢谢谢


最近回归OG，发现了好多以前没有注意到的问题，还比如：
OG-21题，

Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledgeover the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth toadulthood, are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain growsand how babies acquire language.

(A) Neuroscientists,having amassed a wealth of knowledge [ over the past twenty years] about the brainand its development from birth to adulthood, are

(B) Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledgeabout the brain and its development from birth to adulthood [over the past twenty years], and are

OG上说B中状语的位置会产生锈蚀adulthood的歧义，可是如果这样说来, A中难道不会优秀是knowledge的嫌疑吗？
一直很困惑的一点就是，修饰主句中谓语动词的状语的位置到底要放在哪里才真的能保证没有歧义呢？

如果是说过去20多年的knowledge，介词就用的不对；再者，如果这样这么rigid的理解的话，所有的句子都没法写了= =


应该说knowledge of past twenty years


或者这样说，verb modifier的放置是比较轻松的，只要不会引起太大的歧义就行


如果卤煮觉得不好理解


就从选项的split去看


modifier移动了肯定是在考misplaced modifier


你考虑放在哪里更没有歧义就对了
