19.   (25589-!-item-!-188;#058&002028)

Although unhappy with the high rent her company was paying for its suburban office building, the chief executive recognized rental rates for buildings in the suburbs as far lower than it typically is for property that is located within the city limits.

(A) rental rates for buildings in the suburbs as far lower than it typically is for property that is located within the city limits

(B) rental rates for buildings in the suburbs as being far lower than what the rates typically charged within the city limits had been for property located there

(C) rental rates typically being charged for property located within the city limits to be far lower as they typically were within the city limits for the property there

(D) that rental rates for buildings in the suburbs were far lower than rental rates typically being charged within the city limits for property located there

(E) that rental rates for buildings in the suburbs were far lower than those typically charged for property located within the city limits

生词：within the city limits在城市范围内

问题：although不是要连接两个句子吗？那为什么although后面少了“she was”？另外rent后面应该是一个省略that的宾语从句吧？不是说GMAT考试里一般都不省略宾语从句中的that吗？

选E

先说你问的although的问题，严格意义上讲，although的确应该作连词连接两个句子，并且although引导的部分作为让步状语从句

但是这个让步状语从句实际上是可以省略的。

不过这个省略是有限制的，简单说状语从句的省略形式：表示时间条件转折的连词（when/ while/ if/ unless/ although/ even though/ even if）+ adj短语/-ing分词/-ed分词（逻辑主语等于句子主语）

 

更特殊的 特别的：once 可以加介词短语/名词短语，whatever可以加名词短语构成省略；

 

并且这里的+ adj短语/-ing分词/-ed分词和句子主句的主语之间还要有对应的逻辑关系。所以这里的although的使用是没问题的

James

然后说说你所谓的that的省略问题，提干中的rent her company was paying for its suburban office building这个结构

首先这里不是一个宾语从句，而是一个定语从句

换句话说her company was paying for its building实际上是修饰前面那个rent的，这里的rent也不是动词/介词，所以不可能是宾语从句

 

在Official American Written Eng里面，宾语从句的引导词that是不能省略的

但是定语从句的that却可以省略，简单说，当定于从句的先行词作定语从句中动词的宾语的时候，这个that就可以省略

原文中：rent her company was paying for its suburban office building 中的先行词rent实际上是pay的宾语

所以如果你要说 rent that her company was paying for its suburban office building 和 rent her company was paying for its suburban office building 都是可以的，因为rent作为了pay的宾语出现，所以引导词that可有可无

 

更简单的例子包括，the book I read，the girl I love，等都是这样

 

希望这个说明能够帮助你

这个题目剩下的部分你自己再琢磨琢磨，

自己琢磨出来总比我直接告诉你印象深刻：）

对于你说到的"省略式有限的"，这个等我遇到下一个题目有选项就是区分although后跟整句和非整句时再进行比较思考下。
不过，是否可以简单地说，当although后面需要加的是系动词时，就可以把“she was”省略掉呢？

你可以这么理解：）

其实系动词在英文里面所表达的就是简单的联系，所以在很多时候系动词都是可以省略的，比方说我们常见的独立主格结构

这里的状语从句的省略其实同时省略了主语和系动词，当然这里需要注意的是主语必须要和主句主语一致

有道理
