107. Women are expected to be the majority of student entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing more women in leadership position in politics and business.
A Women are expected to be the majority of student entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing
B The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, a trend that will ultimately place
C The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women, which will ultimately place
D It is expected that the majority of students entering law school this fall will be women, a trend ultimately placing
E It is expected for the women to be the majority of students entering law school this fall, which will ultimately place
答案是b但是我選了a~我覺得b中school this are的are好像不對~因為它的主詞不是majority嗎~那不是要要用is不是用are嗎~這樣不會造成主動詞不一致嗎~有誰可以跟我說一下嗎~謝謝~

[hwatai]

由the majority of+名詞作主語時，謂語動詞視名詞的單複數形式而定．例如(a)The majority of the damage is easy to repair．(b)The majority of criminals are non—violent

我覺得這題的精采在(A)的解釋：同位语的placing结构，不能表现出即将发生的趋势，而是一直发生的

[la-vie]

A Women are expected to be the majority of student entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing
請問逗號之後的verb是什麼?
(主語是a trend 吧?)

[Pufa]

A Women are expected to be the majority of student entering law school this fall, a trend ultimately placing
請問逗號之後的verb是什麼?
(主語是a trend 吧?)

逗號後面本身只是個同位語，用來描述前面的現象。不是一個句子，所以不會有動詞。
a trend that ultimately places
a trend that will ultimately place
整句其實就只是a trend一個名詞而已。

[la-vie]

我的頭腦一定有打結...

我還是比較不出來A和B的差別耶!

雖然可以認同(A)的解釋：同位语的placing结构，不能表现出即将发生的趋势，而是一直发生的
但只是一種說不出來的同意感~這樣好不踏實...
請問可以幚忙解釋的更具體些嗎?

另外，我想請問C和E選項
我可以說因為which子句沒有表達a trend的概念嗎?

麻煩了(感恩)

[kate1107]

A和B的差別在其邏輯意思!!
A: 全部的女人都是大部分要進入LAW SCHOOL的學生--明顯錯囉~~暗指天底下只要是女的就會是要進入LAW SCHOOL 的學生，不可能阿!
B: 大部分進入LAW SCHOOL 的學生都是女的~符合邏輯意思!!

請多多指教

(A) 1. student --> students, women = the majority of students... 應該就沒問題吧, 2. placing: 感覺上這事情已經發生而且持續進行中
(C) which 指前面句子, 今年秋季入法學院的學生大部份是女生,這將使更多女生位居政治領導者,不太合理喔!
(D) placing: 感覺上這事情已經發生而且持續進行中,然前面子句是未來式(未發生)
(E) the women = 所有女生? (所有女生將是今年秋季入法學院學生的多數,這將使更多女生位居政治領導者) 句意不合理
=> (B) : trend 跟前面句子同位 (今年秋季入法學院的學生大部份是女生,這趨勢將使更多女生位居政治領導者)

[dibert8]

更正一下:
(C) GMAT 裡的 which 指某一名詞,不會指全句. which 不能指 women, 往前找會遇到 school. 是了,應該是指 school.不過,這也太遠了些!
其實 which 放這兒是注定要錯的,因為最有可能指代的是 women, 而 which 是不可能指代 women 的.

about:
"Women are expected to be the majority of students entering law school this fall" and
"The majority of students entering law school this fall are expected to be women"

I still don't get the difference between above two sentences.
Are they the same meaing? 只是換句話說而以　不是嗎??

又, a trend-->代表前面那一整個句子　指這個現象...
所以　我覺的唯一可挑錯的地方就是時態了耶

any one can help me on this?

Thanks a lot.

就像上面有人提過的, A和B 除了時態上的問題, A是進行式, B是未來式, 既然說是trend, 未來式比較漂亮且洽當

我還是感覺A和B還有句意也不同

(A)Women are expected to be =>所有的女人都要被預期...啥? 什麼時候所有的女生都被預期得去念law school, 太怪了

(B)The majority of students entering law school this fall 說今年秋天要進law school大部分的人是女生~範圍小多了, 句意這個才對唷

恩恩 再看了一下 好像了解了 呵呵 謝謝你

[chencraig0227]

我本來還以為同位語的格式只能逗號後, N Ved/Ving..
看來我錯了! 所以也是可以加上時態的!
唉! 時態真的害死人!
