yeah, i think you're right: the comparison made in choice a is ok. it's not quite as ideally worded as the comparison in choices b-c-d, but, as can be seen in saurabh's ron/bush example, it's fine. the real problems with choice a: - 'the ratio of 42 times' is redundant; it'd be good enough just to say '42 times'. note that the word 'ratio' is not redundant in choices c-d, since it's being used as a modifier to make a logical connection. - it doesn't say 42 times what. not only is that unacceptably vague, but it also breaks parallelism
an average of 419 times more pay,compared to a ratio pay与ratio不能比
A recent review… indicates that…, CEO'S earn…, as compared to… 主语是review,谓语是indicates,后跟that引导的宾语从句说明indicate的内容,宾语从句的主语是 CEO's,谓语是earn,宾语是419 times the pay of blue-collar workers,后跟比较结构as compared to…,the ratio是42 times their pay的同位语。 CEO's 是 CEO 的复数形式,以缩写字母组成的专有名词的复数形式可以是加's 或加 s。 考点:比较、句子结构 比较-compare/contrast 的用法,(as) compared to/with(GMAT 没有区分 to 和 with 的区别),省略了主语和系动词,即 A be compared with/to B,与 in contrast to 都是惯用法,前后比较对象一定 要对等。 常见的错误用法有:将 compare 用作主动(when compare…; comparing…),比较对象 不对等。句子结构-宾语从句,正式书面语中,宾语从句的引导词 that 不能省略。 选项分析 (A) compared to的比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数, 而后者a ratio of是比率。 (B) a ratio that compares的compare不能用主动方式表达,应该是被比较sth be compared to…的省略形式(省略了主语和系动词,是惯用法);compare to的比较对象不对象等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是比率。 (C) 正确,as compared to比较结构,419 times the pay与42 times their pay比较,the ratio…是同位语。 (D) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's who…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语,who引导定语从句 修饰名词CEO's。 (E) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's earning…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语;compare to的 比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是 比率。
average of 419 times 419倍多的平均,与平均高出了419不一致
the ratio of 42 times' is redundant; it'd be good enough just to say '42 times'.
compare前后一个是419 times more pay,一个是ratio,不可以比
earn不能和ratio进行compare
CEO's 是 CEO 的复数形式,以缩写字母组成的专有名词的复数形式可以是加's 或加 s。
比较-compare/contrast 的用法,(as) compared to/with(GMAT 没有区分 to 和 with 的区别),省略了主语和系动词,即 A be compared with/to B,与 in contrast to 都是惯用法,前后比较对象一定 要对等。
常见的错误用法有:将 compare 用作主动(when compare…; comparing…),比较对象 不对等。
(A) compared to的比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数, 而后者a ratio of是比率。
compared to的比较对象不对等,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数, 而后者a ratio of是比率。
比较多对象不对
CEO'S can not be compared with a ratio
比较多对象是, ratio和工资数
比较对象不正确。 419 times more pay vs. ratio
