among指三者以上，between指两者之间
between……and……
linking arrangement never evolved in US as （they evolved） in other countries 明白比较内容和比较对象，选项C只比较了国家，没有比较他们有没有evolve

B和D错：which后面要连接整个句子，而不是它一个词
答案C despite是个转折词，但不是连词，这里后面是个整句，所以需要一个连词
答案E：although跟之前一题一样，后面要跟一个完整的句子，但不是就它一个词，或者pre phrase

"rather than" shows comparison and parallelism!!!!!

考点：more or less vs. higher or lower
describe age we need use higher or lower, describe # we can use more or less
although need connecting the whole sentence, in stead of just a pre phrase( choice C)
; connects two separate completed sentences. choice B is wrong

sentence structure: X; Y; and Z.

读懂题意：understanding is paralleling with grasping
A: "when working with......" is the modifier with global managers, but this modifier is too far away from this subject
B: they in here stand for global managers, but at the end is singular, global manager. still too far away
C: as.....as....parallel structure
D: as important to them as, here them supposed to stand for global managers, but in the context, the closer plural are clients
E: wrong meaning.

我理解B是省略，但不省略的话，应该是什么呢？a greater proportion than that was？

when 做定语从句连词和状语的区别

earned修饰record

增加养老金→老人就会有更多的钱→经济状况就会更好
选项断开了逻辑链 A→B 假设不成立

说明不一定引用多就一定质量好，因为低质量的专利也可能被频繁引用，这不是quality-specific的指标

1、the increase in hourly wages that were requested中的that代指increase，是单数应该用was requested
2、are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits added to…不合理，因为added to the increase in hourly wages,前面更合理的应该为seeking to have an expanded program of retirement, an expanded program of retirement 被added to the increase in hourly wages意义上更合理

要注意修饰词higher，greater，more等是否对应对象合适
此处birth defects...are much higher不合理
higher一般对应有数值含义词

other than what it is不是连词，不能连接两个句子。other than = except，是“除了…以外”的意思，而且是介词短语，other than应改为rather than，且rather than可做介词亦可做连词，意思为“而不是…”。

对不起眼花了。。请忽略我

to allow them to move comfortably为什么不能是一个定语修饰system呢？

We only need helping verbs when we need to resolve the ambiguity.
C选项：平行的应该是wild animals 和livestock，that of变成了脂肪和wild animals的平行。

comma+which跳跃修饰的也太远了吧。。。

方法一：所有组合减去有couple的组合＝C(10,3)-C(5,1)*C(8,1)=80. 有couple的组合＝先从5对couple选一对，已经有两个人了，再从剩下8个人里选一个。
方法二：先从5对夫妻里面选3对，再从这3对夫妻里每对各自选一个人出来。C(5,3)*C(2,1)*C(2,1)*C(2,1)=80

要搞清楚逻辑是being committed to a course of action导致misinterpret and overlook而不是executive自己
