The following questions present a sentence, part of which or all of which is underlined. Beneath the sentence, you will find five ways of phrasing the underlined part. The first of these repeats the original; the other four are different. If you think the original is best, choose the first answer; otherwise choose one of the others.
These questions test correctness and effectiveness of expression. In choosing your answer, follow the requirements of standard written English; that is, pay attention to grammar, choice of words, and sentence construction. Choose the answer that produces the most effective sentence; this answer should be clear and exact, without awkwardness, ambiguity, redundancy, or grammatical error.
The tango club, which appeared moribund five years ago, has picked up a new
step; its numbers are now three times more than
when the club president decided to bring in a live band.
选项
A、step; its numbers are now three times more than
B、step; its numbers are now three times greater than
C、step, their numbers now threefold that which they had been
D、step; now with numbers three times greater than
E、step, now with three times the number they had
答案
B
解析
A is incorrect because the club doesn’t have "more numbers of members," it has "greater numbers of members"; B makes the clearer comparison. The subject of the sentence is the singular "tango club," so the plural pronoun "they" in C and E is incorrect. The construction "now with numbers" in D is unidiomatic, because the phrase lacks a verb to make it sensibly follow the first clause. B, which forms a complete independent clause, is the best answer.
