44、简洁，选 C。 【知识模块】 语法改错 2 【正确答 案】 D 【试题解析】 主句的主语与结果从句的主语不一致，用 sothat 句型。 【知识模块】 语法改错 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 由主句中的 those of，就可断定 A、 B、 D不对，因为不论比较前是that of或 those of，若比较后仍是 those of成立的话，我们根本就不知道这些that、 those究竟指何物。还记得 those指代的要求吗 ?是指代前面已出现的可数名词复数。 E中：用法不对；选 C： those指代前面的 Native American。 【知识模块】 语法改错 4 【正确答案】 E

47、th done”的句型， GMAT不倾向用(请查阅公理 )；此题换用 although从句表达，而未用 unlike的句型表达 (属于 like的第三种用法 )。 【知识模块】 语法改错 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 A中 N1与 N2不具可比性； B、 D、 E的表达使句子理解不畅。 【知识模块】 语法改 错 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 B中： N1与 N2不具可比性； D中 similar to不应放在句首； C、 E中 died或 did的动作都与 was killed不对应；同时， C、 E的表达相对于 A来说，相对复杂。 【知识模块】 语法改错 11 【正确答案】 A
