108.

According to a new report by the surgeon general, women with less than a high school education had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking as women who went to college.

(A) had three times the likelihood that they would begin smoking
(B) had three times the likelihood of beginning smoking
(C) were three times more likely to begin to smoke
(D) were three times more likely that they would begin to smoke
(E) were three times as likely to begin smoking



Ans: E

一定是 as... as 嗎? 有沒有考比較的題裡 as 的意思是 when 的?
more ... 後面一定有 than 嗎? e.g. (C) 理解成 were three times more likely (than anyone else) to begin to smoke ;像這樣 than anyone else 可以省略嗎?

[dibert8]

非劃線部份的 as (were) women who... 似乎已經決定了這一題的句型是 as ... as
送分題?

想請問這裡真的 有省略were嗎 ??

主語比較的 話不是應該補助動詞嗎 ??

[Philosophia]

並非所有的主語比較都是補上助動詞的

zb. Mary is taller than Maggie (is).
