An international group of more than 2,000 scientists project an average global warming that will be between 1.8 and 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2000.
project an average global warming that will be between 1.8 and
project an average global warming to be from 1.8 to
project global warming that will average between 1.8 and
projects global warming to average from 1.8 to
projects an average global warming of between 1.8 and
well, d has two problems, at least:
- 'projects X to do Y' is unidiomatic. (you can just say 'projects NOUN', as is done in choice e, or you can say something like 'projects that X will do Y').
- an average is a single data point, so there's no such thing as 'averag[ing] from 1.8 to 6.3'. on the other hand, it's quite possible for a single data point to fall between two given values.
i've seen 'of between' in this sense before - think of the phrase 'between 1.8 and 6.3' as standing for a single number, and parse the sentence accordingly (it reads as if it said 'average g.w. of 5 degrees', for instance) - so, if the original poster has copied the problem correctly, we now know that the gmat accepts that construction.
this sentence is about the AVERAGE global warming over a certain period. so, any sentence containing "from... to..." would be nonsense.
an average is a single value.

D. 句子含义不正确。Warming一词在句中表达的是一个增量,即从现在到2000年全球气温升高的
增量,这个增量的值在1.8到6.3之间,是一个范围。表达范围的意思,我们可以使用between…
and…, 或者可以使用ranging from… to…。这些词组表示范围,但是不存在方向性。单纯使用
from… to…是有方向性的,从什么到什么,表达一种趋势。该用法在该句句意下不合适

描述的是一段时期的平均温度,用between/and,不用from/to;如果是增长、下降,用from/to
这里是一群科学家一起做的可以看成是(一个)预测,而不是每个科学家各自做一个预测,所以group做单数用。如:
A group of scientists works in the lab.一起、作为一个群体在实验室工作
A group of scientists go their houses after work.各回各家

虽然A group of scientists里的group可以代表一群人作复数,氮素GMAC还是喜欢把它看作单数;这里A group of scientists表示一个类别/组织
global warming of between 1.8 and 6.3,of表示名词具有的状态/性质/动作等,如:woman of science从事科学工作的女性,risk of causing cancer
1华氏~0.5摄氏,1.8-6.3华氏~1-3摄氏,所以这里用between/and而不是from/to

- 'projects X to do Y' is unidiomatic. (you can just say 'projects NOUN', as is done in choice e, or you can say something like 'projects that X will do Y').
- an average is a single data point, so there's no such thing as 'averag[ing] from 1.8 to 6.3'. on the other hand, it's quite possible for a single data point to fall between two given values.

an average 是一个确定的值,介于两个数之间,不能从1.8到3.6

if you see the form "NOUN + prepositional phrase + VERB", then the singular/plural form of the verb is determined by the NOUN. the prepositional phrase is just an intervening modifier, which has zero effect on the grammar of the noun+verb.
the only exception occurs when the NOUN indicates some sort of proportion or fraction.
this sentence is about the AVERAGE global warming over a certain period. so, any sentence containing "from... to..." would be nonsense.
an average is a single value.
解析:
原句句子结构:An international group… projects an average global warming of….
原句逻辑语义:某国际组织的2000多名科学家预测,直到2000年,平均全球变暖系数将在1.8和6.3度之间。
A.主语group要求使用单数谓语。
B.主语group要求使用单数谓语。
C.主语group要求使用单数谓语。
D.表达范围的概念最好用between…and而非from…to…
E.正确。

此外,average作动词的意思不适用
