题目分析:
本题主要考查了关于“平行”和措辞的一些用法。
选项分析:
A选项:并列连词and需要连接两个相同的成分。本选项and身前是介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure,身后是句子their families have a history of high blood pressure。两者无法平行。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。whose families have a history of high blood pressure是定语从句,其先行词为young people。这里的跳跃修饰是没有问题的。
C选项:本选项错误同(A)。
D选项:分词短语running in them是赘余的。families have a history of high blood pressure已经表示在家庭中有高血压的情况了。
E选项:介词短语with higher-than-average blood pressure和with a history of high blood pressure running in their family之间缺少连词连接,正确方式为:
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
i'm pretty sure that the gmat restricts the pronoun "whose" to people and maybe animals; for instance, i don't think you're going to see something like "the can whose lid i ripped off" on the test.
by the way, the improper use of the conjunction "and" makes (c) not even a sentence at all.
D,running in them赘余
E,如E所写,with前应有连词
B correct
E:两个with结构之间缺少连词(老眼昏花了)
D:running in them属于wordy
B:对的,whose family...作定语跳跃修饰young people, 其实也可以看成不是跳跃修饰,是b先修饰a,c再修饰a+b罢了
young people with higher-than-average blood pressure and with a history of high blood pressure running in their family are more likely than others to develop a severe form of the condition.
错选E因为没看到and也在划线里面,E缺少and连词
