96. One of the primary distinctions between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specifi c skill but in our ability to extend knowledge gained in one context to new and different ones.
(A) between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specific skill but
(B) between our intelligence with that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill but instead
(C) between our intelligence and that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill as
(D) our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specifi c skill as
(E) of our intelligence to that of other primates may lay not in any specifi c skill but

答案是C。我对于D的解释有疑问。。

D From is the incorrect preposition to use with distinction; without so much, which is used in C, as seems to introduce a  omparison for specifi c skill rather than a distinction.

我觉得。。比较的。。难道不就是in any specific skill和in our ability么~|||难道我整个题目都看错了。。汗。。

d答案 96. One of the primary distinctions between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specifi c skill but in our ability to extend knowledge gained in one context to new and different ones.
(A) between our intelligence with that of other primates may lay not so much in any specific skill but
(B) between our intelligence with that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill but instead
(C) between our intelligence and that of other primates may lie not so much in any specific skill as
(D) our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specifi c skill as
(E) of our intelligence to that of other primates may lay not in any specifi c skill but

d不对啊。distinctions A have from that of B这个是错误的用法。distinctions between A and that of B才是正确的

呃~distinguish from不是么。。。汗~

那那，关于比较的那个错误呢。。还是想理解一下OG的解释

看了半天才大概明白OG说的是啥。
原文的意思是distinctionsin any specific skill are not so much as distinctionsin our ability to extend。所以比较的是distinctions。去掉了so much以后就没有这么明显的逻辑含义了。（虽然我也还想不出来会出现什么样的歧义）

这个问题感觉不是致命性的。相信考试中也不会出现靠这个来选择正确答案的，否则就不是GMAC的风格了。

楼上的解释很对，我也这才看懂，原来distinction是省略掉了

“our intelligence has from that of other primates may lie not in any specifi c skill as“
而我同时觉得D选项把原文的意思改了，文中并没有否定distinction没有ie in any specific skill，而是lie not so much in  specific skill as in our ability to extend...只是程度不一样，并非否定前者。

谢谢楼上两位的解答^_^

原来是省略了。。汗~~~

我也对D有疑问。。。。。不懂D的解释，看到楼下有童鞋说是省略了may lie not so much（distinction）in any special skills as （distinction0 in our ability。。。。但是原文中是lie in 短语啊，并且lie还是不及物动词。。。distinction不能放在它们中间啊！！！！求高手帮助啊！！！！！解释一下D吧！！！最好把选项和解释都翻译一下。。。。。
