定语从句that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere应改为that have decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere。这是因为,如果定语从句中用has,则其先行词必然是单数名词,即,progress。在逻辑上,进步本身是不会杀害任何人的,真正杀害大批人的应该是“毁坏和奴役(devastation and enslavement)”。
由于本题已经讲过了more than three times as many,所以划线部分必须以as开头。排除(A)(B)(C)。这道题目的意思是:收取学费少于8000每年的高等教育机构是超过三倍于收取超过16000每年的学费的机构的。由于as many as中间是一个行为,即,independent institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees,因此本题的对比对象应为两个收费行为,as身后应该用动词charge over $16,000,不能比较机构数(those charging over $16,000)。
