An inventory equal to 90 days is as much as evern the strongest businesses carry, and then only as a way to anticipate higher prices or ensure against shortages.

a. as much as even
b. so much as even
c. even so much as
d. even as much that
e. even so much that

答案為A，麻煩解釋一下A的用法…，不太了解句意。感恩。

1. D,E: as...that和so...that不是同級比較的慣用法，刪掉
2. B,C: so...as用於否定，本題是肯定，一定要用as...as
3. even修飾最高級，所以要緊鄰

123綜合一下就選A

句意...嗯.... 我也想知道

句意部份: 保持90天的存貨量,即使是最好的生意也是(會保持90天的存貨量),以預防價格高漲或是確保不會短缺.

請問一下
, and then only as a way to anticipate higher prices or ensure against shortages.
是跟前面的誰對稱阿??

看到and就會想到對稱的問題, 但是這題我真的看不透他們是怎麼對稱的
還是說, and then only as a way to anticipate higher prices or ensure against shortages. 只是個插入句
如果真的是插入句, 那我該如何判別他是插入句 還是and對稱的句子呢???@ @

and 前面有逗點,表示附屬結構.
這一句 and 後面省略了主詞 (inventory) 和動詞 (is).

[pimi]

感激!!

and 前面有逗點,表示附屬結構
是不是看到這類的題目
就無須去理會and前後有無對稱的問題對吧???

[dibert8]

雖說是如此, GMAT 的句子仍然蠻強調平衡,對稱;附屬結構的 and 也可以和主要子句的內容平衡.
另外要小心,平衡三個的時候, and 前面也會有逗點.
