[求助]Which Key ?

xuerh

1. Discrimination in wages (paid in occupations that are predominately male over the predominately female have) given rise to substantial differentials between the wages of housepainters and secreties and between the wages of parking-lot attendants and library assistants.

A. paid in occupations that are predominately male over the predominately female have
B. paid in occupations that are predominately male over those that are predominately female have
C. that favors predominately male occupations over the predominately female have
D. that favors predominately male occupations over those that are predominately femal has
E. in predominately male occupations over the predominately female has

xuerh

E 中predominately female 之后缺Occupations 或 ones, 因此主语 Discrimination...in male occupations over the...female. 似乎将male occupations 与female比，不恰当.而且介词短语over....修饰对象有歧义。

D 中主语为 Discriminations... that favors...male occupations over those that are .. female. those 指occupations. 因此that 定语从句对等比较male occupations 与female occupations. 好象更合适.

所以我认为 D 选项较好. 当否？

if in D

those 指代 occupations, 那么就变成，occupaitons are female, 我觉得显然是不符合逻辑的

xuerh的思路好象过于严瑾，一方面Gmat的要求是严格的，但另一方面语言的应用是灵活的，female后省略了相同的部分occupations，语法上是允许的，并且不会引起歧义，这里涉及习惯表达，因为male 和female本身就是一对词，谁也不会把occupations和female比较。
