: 請問以下兩題pp1-50& pp1-87是否為S+V+O的比較? 若是，為何pp1-87的"women
: living in the Northeast and Midwest"不需補出動詞?
其它部份恕刪
: PP1-50.
: Many teenagers undergo stress, but results of a recent study indicate that
: the patterns of stress that girls experience are more likely to result in
: depression than are those that boys experience.
: -------------------------------
: (A) are those that boys experience ans:(A)
此題比較處為
the patterns of stress that girls experience are
---------------(a)--------------------------
more likely to result in depression
than
are those that boys experience
----------(b)-------------
寫得較清楚一點，此題的意思應為
(a) are more likely to result in depression
than
(b) are [to result in depression]
中文：(a)比(b)更容易造成depression ( 比較(a)與(b) )
此處(b)部份若未補出are，則可能變為以下意思：
(a) are more likely to result
in depression
than
[in] (b)
中文：(a)較容易造成depression，而較不容易造成(b) (比較"depression"與(b))
因為這裡全部都是"物"，故要補出"are"以避免造成混淆
(有 "人" 也有 "物" 的見下題)
=====================================================================
: PP1-87.
: Results of a United States study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine
: have shown college-educated women and women living in the South and West to
: ----------------------------------------------------------------
: be significantly more likely to be using supplemental hormones as women
: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
: living in the Northeast and Midwest.
: ------
: (E) that college-educated women and women living in the South and West are
: significantly more likely to use supplemental hormones than women living
: ans:(E)
此處文意應為
(a) are more likely to use hormones
than
(b) [are to use hormones]
但這裡即使不補出are
也不會造成
(a) 較傾向use hormones，而不是use (b)
因為(b)是人，hormones是物，這裡很清楚
================================================================
附註：
其實外國人會說，
補不補出動詞要看會不會ambigious，
但是我覺得光看"句意"的話，
事實上第一題也不太會ambigious，
我認為使用詞本身的性質來判斷可能會好一些
(人、物...等等)
================================================================
Example: (以下轉錄自Manhattan)
A verb is optional, unless the comparison is unclear or
could be misinterpreted without it.
"Jerry likes George more than a root canal."
This is clear: Jerry has a preference between
George and a root canal. No verb necessary,
though it wouldn't be wrong to use one,
just wordy: "Jerry likes George more than he likes a root canal."
"Jerry likes George more than Elaine."
This is not clear: Does Jerry have a preference between
George and Elaine? Or do Jerry and Elaine differ in their
feelings about George?
To clear up the confusion, you must use a verb:
(1) "Jerry likes George more than he likes Elaine."
(Notice that "he" = Jerry, not George, as both are
subjects of their respective verbs.
Parallelism prevents a true pronoun ambiguity emergency,
though the GMAT might still use Jerry's name instead of
the pronoun to be clear.)
(2) "Jerry likes George more than Elaine does."
