快考了,还有些原则不懂

Is “also” adverb  or  conjunction?? Can it link two sentences?

AND ALSO 主语 谓语   或 AND 主语ALSO 谓语  ？哪个正确？？

let alone 与 not to mention的区别

SC
全划县 1。being able to do sth could save many lives.
      2. the ability to do sth means that many lives could be saved
my answer is b, but I think A is right
哪个对？？记得CAPLAN中说 有BEING的别选，BEING开头的要选吗？？/

CAPLAN上一题，怎么可以RATHER THAN TO DO而不是加动词原形
During and immediately after the California gold rush, the way for a merchant to generate the most profit was to move a limited amount of scarce goods to San Francisco as quickly as possible, rather than ( to carry larger loads more slowly, a situation that determined) the design of the clipper ship.

1.also是副词，所以说不能用来连接两个句子
它多用于书面英语中，不能用于句末，通常和动词连用
eg: I like classical music, and Tom also like it.

2.let alone在Merriam-Webster的解释就是not to mention

3.这个说法太绝对了，不过GMAT中好像不偏好使用being,这样一般不够简洁，OG的题目里面没有以being开头的
这道题里面我觉得，主语还是应该是ability，一种能力，而不是Being able to 这样一种状态
不肯定，大家讨论讨论

4.这道题一点都没错啊，前后对称嘛

4.好像有点问题。
  好像规则是:to do ,rather than do...(后者to省略)
  (og)Judge Bonham denied a motion to allow members of the jury to go home at the end of each day rather than be confined to a hotel.
  我也觉得怪怪的，请斑竹帮忙确定一下。

zyh79, rather than 的规则是这样吗？我刚做到这个OG， 看到这个选项，犹豫了半天。

zyh79

应该是，至少白勇语法笔记是这么说得（呵呵，假如我没记错的话）

princess

嗯，我看到OG里关于186题的解释是酱紫的：
“The rejected motion would have allowed them to do the first rather than [to] suffer the second.”
to在这儿应该是可省可不省

zyh79

嗯,可省可不省，不过我觉得ets是不是倾向省
   A recent study has found that within the past few years, many doctors have elected to retire early rather than face the threats of lawsuits and the rising costs of malpractice insurance。

carolexl

那就是省喽,是吧?!

princess

省略的优先考虑

这题要再考虑考虑。不能绝对。
我记得是要考虑整体的意思的。具体选的是哪个我忘了。
