(A) 比较结构不完整,未划线部分的as后面跟的是名词,所以as为介词,完整的形式应该为as+形容词…as…。
(B) 错误与A选项相同;likelihood后接that从句与likelihood of doing sth两种表达方式都正确。
(C) 比较结构搭配错误,more likely to…应该跟than,而不是as。
(D) 错误与C选项相同。
E: 正确,倍数+as+形容词+as。
考点:比较
as...as...是同级比较,前面有three times后面两个as必须同时出现;
A 缺少一个as,句子表达不完整;
B 同A
C 同A
D 同A
E 正确
2.begin doing一般是从第三方角度描述doing这一事件,并不强调这件事的始发地点,只是一种客观描述;而to do则是强调在某个时间点之后,开始做某事
women A have three times the likelihood as women B,as的逻辑错误
A were three times as likely as B, as/as作副词,修饰整个句子,A是3倍,怎么样是3倍?在可能性方面跟B相比是3倍
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandso
表达某人有做某事的可能性用:sb is likely to do, 而不用sb has the likelihood of doing sth
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson.
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson.
E: as likely... as is correct
但是我有个点不是很明白 were 和had 在这里有选项的区别吗
有。我们不能说“某人拥有可能性”,只能说“某人干某事的可能性”。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
