Ans: B

我想問為什麼答案是B而不是C呢? 是因為不夠簡潔嗎?

B用be likely to 表達比用the likelihood來得好,而且比較對象十分清楚
至於c that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee is twice as much as White women

首先the likelihood不好
再來是比較不同類,變成thier likelihood 語White Women比較了
請指教

我想問的是
B選項that帶領的名詞子句是作為advise的受詞嗎?
乍看題目時覺得advises women of color再接that子句有點奇怪
麻煩高手解釋一下囉 ^^

littlepeony 你想的沒有錯 這句話就是在說The Arthritis Research Institute of America 勸告有色人種的婦女 that~~~~這件事情

請問那A是哪邊出錯?
除了the likelihood不夠簡潔之外,還有哪邊有問題?
請板上大大幫忙

我想 (A) 的問題在 as (關係代名詞)跟它的先行詞似乎離太遠了,容易造成修飾歧異.(i.e. as = osteoarthritis? likelihood? do = get? have?)
而原來的意思可能是 they have twice the likelihood as do White women to get osteoarthritis of the knee

經Dibert8大大一還原句子, 看起來就覺得B修飾清楚多了
