还没明白B到底错在哪里了..

D: illogical: the sentence means that the trend is "placing" the women in these positions right now (since the main clause is in the present).
-ING modifiers don't have a tense. they automatically adopt the tense of the clause to which they're attached.
E: incorrect. "which" can't modify the preceding sentence

A: wrong. the participle 'placing', which wrongly indicates that this trend is already placing more women in leadership positions.
C: wrong. the relative pronoun 'which' is placed in a position where it must refer to 'women'. this is wrong for 2 reasons: (a) 'which' can't refer to people, (b) according to the sentence, women don't place themselves in leadership positions; the trend does.

A: "enough for xxx to happen" is a threshold. this is going to be some EXACT boundary at which something starts to happen.
paired with "quite possibly", this creates a contradiction.

Choice B is incorrect: the passage indicate that early chartered trading companies DID depend on a system of capitalist international trade by "grafting a system of capitalist international trade onto a premodern system"

请问E选项中and so they are是什么结构？so在这里起什么作用

mark一下 无论如何一定要关注到前提和结论所讨论的重点，符合尝试的选项不一定符合题目要求！！！！

decline of price ====> rise of demand 是基本assumption
如果price decline了，sales也没上升，那么说明demand已经达到饱和，此时再advertising和增大产量也没法提高sales了

The five specially ordered shipments sent out last week were sent out on Thursday. 五个so全部都在Thu发出 都是bs
TC 收到的4个没有bs
所以TC收到的不是在Thu发出的5个 既bs又so的其中任何一个 所以so没有发到TC

OTL

问下，by far是不是一个使用完成式的 time indicator？

……我本来想提问wants的动词主语是哪个的。。。现在发现原来特么是和needs一起的是个名词@。@

since可以做连词，也可以做介词。
另外，repeatedly crossing是不是也有问题呢？crossing无时间终结点。

如此说来是不是 ever before 和有道题目里面的 over a period of time这样的都属于time indicator？

影响杂志的销售量circulation 和 广告费 advertising
所以makers of cookware 是潜在的客户，和报纸未来的revenues非常有关！
看完一遍选项没有可选的回头看一开始就被排除的选项。

D和E可否通过最后的them指代的是bank（因为之前说their fees的时候指代的是bank），然而这样的话导致了逻辑意义的冲突。从而判断DE不对

Google了一下，think to be 不是很地道的英语表达。这也是排除C 选项的原因。

这题错得很尴尬。stonemason词义记错了，以为是stone mansion。
考点：主语同位语

是因为 because 不能放在句首做主语吗？

苹果系统完全看不了啊，着急。

结论尤其不明显....理解成了因果推理
