108. (30099-!-item-!-188;#058&004651)

In the United States, while the number of foreign-born residents and their children is higher than ever, the percentage of the population they represent is not; in 1910 this group made up 35 percent of the population when compared to 20 percent in 2000.

(A) population when compared to 20 percent in 2000
(B) population as compared to 2000, when it was 20 percent
(C) population, comparing it with 20 percent in 2000
(D) population, unlike 2000, with 20 percent
(E) population, compared with 20 percent in 2000

答案為E

請問A的寫法 when compared to 20 percent in 2000為什麼不好?

在CD上看到的總結:
compare/contrast的用法，(as) compared to/with（GMAT沒有考to和with的區別，31和104題都是倍數/百分比同類的東西比較，一個用with，一個用to

所以錯誤似乎不在compared to, compared with上面??

[jamesbegins]

我覺得用when後面會缺主詞 compared 變成單純過去式...
要用when是不是要改成...when it was compared to ...
因為 E 的compared 已經是被動的過去分詞省略主詞和 be動詞 ...
不知道是不是這樣呢~

[dibert8]

(A) 裡的 when 省略主詞 (= this group) 和 be 動詞,所以比較不同類.
(E) 裡的 compared 找前面相對應的數字修飾,為慣用法.
compare to/with 都可接受(表示比較)

我覺得A錯的原因是1910年的group跟2000年的group不是同一個group
所以不能省略主詞, 因為是不同的group~

(D) population, unlike 2000, with 20 percent
(E) population, compared with 20 percent in 2000

ans: E

請問同類比較要怎麼判斷才精確
我沒選E的原因是因為我覺的E拿 gruop 跟 20 percent相比了
因為我抓那個gruop為主詞,所 以才覺得E是錯的
有什麼方法可以正確判斷嗎?

[dibert8]

..., compared with/to 直接對應前面的數字,所以只有 (E) 是對的.

如果group是主詞,那個選項是對的?

用group做主詞,句意翻不出來耶!
