C错的还算比较明显的，主要是falling months behind in its paying， 在这里paying明显充当名词，但是GMAT有规定，如果一个词有自己的名词形式（比如pay的名词是payment），就不要用这个词ing形式来作名词，一看到这种就排除！这个语法特点在OG12有一道语法题有详细解释的。至于前面那个but then it proved 和but then proved其实没什么大区别，也就是说C的but then it proved多了一个it不是大错，因为好像有的地方语法解释连词后面要加完整句子，有的又说主语相同可以省略。大概就是这样，主要记住前一个语法点，在GMAT里有自己的名词就不能用ing形式来表示名词~~~作者: littlebluesks 时间: 2011-9-19 06:21
