1) the number is lower than the other number
2) the task has a priority lower than that task
3) the ceiling in my new house is lower than that in my old house.

"lower" cannot be used with countable things.
in general, i can only think of three types of nouns for which you can use "lower" as a quantifier:
1）mathematical quantities (things that can be represented by actual numbers)
2） abstract ideas that aren't necessarily numbers, but that can be thought of as somewhat quantitative
3） things that are literally (= physically) lower than other things

老师，请问E项的which有错吗？我的理解是这里用的是限制性定语从句所以只能用that，不能用which。

RON：like the other incorrect choices, A is clearly inferior to choice (d) in terms of parallelism

没看明白此题

1) I quite agree with you. That’s a good way of looking at it.
(2) **I quite agree with you. That’s a good way to look at it.
通常情况下，我们会说句(1)，这是因为，在整个句(1)发生的时候，人们已经看待问题了（looking at it），至少已经开始看待问题了，只不过另外一个人可能提出了一个更好的角度来看待问题而已（所以，一般good way后面都加of）。又例如：

(3) **We must find a way of solving these problems.
(4) We must find a way to solve these problems.
通常情况下，我们会说句(4)，这是因为，显然地，在整个句子发生时，我们还没有开始解决问题，不然也就不用find a way了。

用之于本题，在逻辑意思上，a way to do和a way of doing是有区别的。of是介词，身后的doing只能是动名词短语。动名词，已经属于名词范畴了，名词（doing）具有指称的作用，用于指代一个客观存在的实体，例如chair、mountain、home等。将这个概念推而广之，一件事，如果能用名词指代了，必然是已经客观存在了的事情。用动名词则表示这个事情已经在其主句发生的时候发生了（可能还没有结束，但事情发生的起点肯定在其主句发生之前）。而不定式（to do）则表示这件事在主句发生时还未发生。因此我们需要根据句子的情况来选择way to do和way of doing。

指代原则和修饰原则不同，修饰是就近修饰，指代是指代最符合语意的词。

上来就把带逗号的CDE都排除了 Orz

有道的一个权威例句：The site was chosen because, historically, the land has been set aside FOR RECREATION.
将这个句子和A比较，我的理解是set aside for sth. 可以，但是在上句：set aside for area of recreation不可以。

类比A：set aside for environment claims可以，但是set aside for payment of environment claims不可以。
因为A已经有预留钱的意思，所以后面不能加上payment（语意重复）。

不知道自己理解的对不对，因为set aside for sth.这个用法确实也挺常见的，有错误的地方望指证！
谢谢。

通过题目条件推结论，通过矛盾的两个条件，推出一个合理的结论。

'little of x' just means 'a small fraction of x'.
if 'x' is singular, and 'a small fraction of x' makes sense, then 'little of x' should also be fine. this issue is altogether unrelated to the idea of 'countable'/'uncountable', because it has nothing to do with counting.

e.g.,
I have read very little of this book.
I would not do well on the MCAT, because I have very little of the required knowledge.

D ① harness 约束力较强，不定式to do ；② excited不是完整的谓语动词（缺be动词），无法和predicted并列

announce to sb. / announce that
没有announce to be 或者announce to do的用法

the last day充当定语从句中的宾语，逻辑错误

这道题还是需要好好的理解一下，虽然觉得很勉强，但是看选项时确实很懵，觉得哪个都不是很对。

在连接并列的三者时，只能用A，B，and C，不能用A，and B，and C。

求解释C

A选项正确是因为比较对象parallel. 但是"as a result of record exports to that country" 在这里是什么功能？ record 是 用作名词还是动词？as a result of 后面不是应该只能加noun or Verb-ing ?
