记得书上写过。第一句是句子的逻辑关系是因果。其他都是表示的相关关系。但是未划线部分表示是因果关系。所以只能选A

把否定性副作用否定掉，这个否定性副作用类似于一个问题，朝提出方案的方向来想

原文信息本来想指出电脑和看电视的统计相关（相同走势），但是发现并没有这个结果。找一个理由说明没有这个结果，找一个选项也没有这种关系的。或者挑出一个选项直接反驳电脑和看电视有关系的原因

问题问的是提干削弱选项，不是选项驳斥提干……

易错点：percent of the remaining

这题够难的，太狡猾了。
实际上，利率上升不会导致耐用品更贵，而是导致借钱买耐用品这个行为更贵。

请问为什么时expect而不是expecting呢？

不知道so as to的用法

not so much in A as in B
as much in A as in B

1/举例的用词。like，such as的区别；like无法表示列举

做题时还想了一下M收购那五家，但是没有理解好每个county只能有一家，以为每个品牌只能有一家。。。然后想了想这个cr不可能考数学题吧，太变态了，然后错了。。。。。。

by/because of its failure 表意不对 是因为fail to honor这件事情（参考og呼吸释放水蒸气那题）
its failing to这种写法techninally正确 但是awkward（ron讲过）
选A碾压

竟然不是to touch and thereby to activate 啊。。。
如果改成这样 会更好吗——？还是不make sense？

老师这种两个人问答形式的题怎么判断推理方式啊？

B: the costs for converting might be the same; but the small companies may not be able to afford this cost of converting. He is assuming that the small companies will have to convert--that they don't already align with the new regulations--because if they are already aligned with the new regulations, they will not have to convert (ie, they are already converted!). If they are already converted, then the new regulations will not cause the small companies to collapse.

A: Author just says that if manufacturing is not regulated, the three large companies will remain in business.
He doesn't comment on what will happen if manufacturing is regulated. And the argument is about what will happen if industry is regulated. Thus you can drop A.

as... as... 是一个什么样的比较结构？little risk 和 one chance in a million 比较？
结尾为什么要用 of causing 呢？

d为什么不对？ 前后时态不应该一致吗？

One big strike against both (D) and (E) is the use of the noun "emergence" over the verb "emerge". This is an action-word. Making action-words verbs makes a sentence direct and powerful. Making the action-words nouns or adjectives makes things indirect, lily-livered, and wordy, as is the case with both (D) & (E).

c不应该在句尾加一个that is吗？
