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.
there's no way that "...whose families have..." could grammatically refer to the blood pressure.
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.
