考 and 連接詞改分詞結構, 刪除 (A) (C) (D); 剩下 (B) (E) 選一個, (B) 看到 more 但是沒有 than, 刪除 => 選 (E)

看了這題好久
有一些心得
我認為leading是分詞結構表因果關係(分詞代替連接詞,我掙扎了好久,還是決定不用了)
因為機場塞爆了,所以造成後面的結果

看Mobebe的筆記 跟giraffe大說的一樣
但我還是不懂55 persent more delay為什麼會unclear?

[dibert8]

increase in delays 句意較清楚,選一個較佳選項.

OG 的解釋:
This question poses two major problems: parallel structure and precision of expression. In E, the best choice, parallel structure is maintained in the participial phrases introduced by leading and prompting, and the phrase 55-percent increase in delays conveys the meaning more accurately than does the phrase 55 percent more delay(s) in A and B.

感謝dibert8波出第十版的解答^^"
因為11版OG就不負責任的寫了55 percent more delay is unclear =.=

參考自CD
55 persent more delay 後面沒有than
不符合ETS出題習慣
