为什么悬啊？

应该是C

why A is wrong? just because A is using sb is likely in doing sth, while C is using sb is likely to do sth?

A的比较对象不对，

channing76

主语是minority graduates ，在A,B,C中选一；four times 和more than 连用；in planning to practice 短语优于从句who plan on practicing ；故A；请指教！

以下是引用channing76在2005-3-6 21:27:00的发言：

According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.


a)minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice
b)minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

和A项的主要区别在于没有补出are；根据比较三原则，A优于B
c)minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

第二个as后面应该有are补出，且to plan在这里不知道做什么成分
d)it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

rather than不是比较词，而且will plan这个时态不爽
e)it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

as--than---这种比较形式显然不行

A选项的in planning to practice 短语优于B选项的从句who plan on practicing

至于这个，我想不是问题的根本。不过可以参看

实义名词〉动词〉形容词〉抽象名词〉分词，动名词〉从句

但大全给出的答案是Ｃ啊

a)minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

补出了are，但补出后，句子应还原为什么样呢？我认为其实这这是minority graduates和other graduates之间的比较，不需要补出are
b)minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing
c)minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

BC比较动词不定式比从句简洁，所以Ｃ
