Research by sociologists and economists has found that couples with daughters face modestly higher risks of divorce than ...........
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ B — couples with sons
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 2 — couples with sons supplies the comparison group: couples with daughters face higher risks than couples with sons do. Comparative ellipsis (حذف در ساختار مقایسهای) allows the repeated predicate to remain unstated.
- (1) couples with some are: the printed some leaves the intended noun unclear, and are cannot replace the action verb face.
- (3) are couples with sons: are is the wrong auxiliary; if the predicate were represented by an auxiliary, it would be do, not are.
- (4) couples with some face: the printed some does not supply the intended group, and repeating face here leaves its object unstated without the appropriate auxiliary ellipsis.
Exam trick: Compare like with like, and use do to stand for an ordinary present-tense action verb.
