A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.
more than when retiring
more than if they were to retire
more so than those who retired
which was more so than those retiring
which was more than if they had retired
Wrong: No one do it, even though there are more apples in the trees can be picked this year.
it找不到指代对象,按句意是想指代采摘更多的苹果这件事。
改成:No one do so, even though there are more apples in the trees can be picked this year.
省略式的说法
AB:more than之前没有跟if/when形成对比的结构
DE:which指代的是啥?如果是satisfaction,那既不能跟those对比,也不能跟if对比
C:being省略的一个伴随结构——women being more so than those...
AB选项:比较的对象还是前面提到的退休以后开始新事业的女性,只是在这一类人身上加了时间状语或者条件状语,逻辑有问题
A 比较对象不同,即使比较省略的they,由于they代指前面的women,错
B they代指前面的women,错
D 就近修饰satisfaction错
E which错、they错
A.when retiring,而左边没有这个平行的结构
B.出现了if从句,可是左边么有if从句
C.Those (指代women正确) who retired,正确!
D/E.都是which was的结构,错误!因为:读句义这里应该是独主结构修饰整个句子,而which不能修饰前面的整句,which这么放着只能修饰前置词satisfaction, 逻辑意思有误
根据曼哈顿的书P230的解释,DO SO可以指代entire action, 也就是do sth adv。这里我觉得是指代reported high marital satisfaction。但是我觉得这个so不是此题的考点,而是比较平行的结构才是考点。如果仅仅用so来做判断的话,可能会掉入GMAC其他题目的陷阱
so作代词指代satisfication
d. which指代错误
a. 省略they, 也不对
(D) which与so都指代satisfaction,重复;
correct: i've always wanted to jump out of a plane, but i've never had the chance to do so. --> "do so" = jump out of a plane.
perhaps the most common usage in which you'll see this is "do it" vs. "do so":
