In the country of Veltria, the past two years' broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time? (A) The total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the first year of the recession and the second year. (B) Between the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase. (C) Of the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having financial difficulties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year. (D) Clothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise. (E) Relatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the first year of the recession. 这道题错选了A。 思路如下： 题目问的是为什么在经济不好，衣服卖不动的情况下，第一年零售商还不上钱第二年就能还上了。讲的是零售商还钱的问题。 当时留下的是A,C,D 排除D是因为觉得，即使刺激销售量衣服打折也不能说明能还上钱。可能打折卖1块，纵使家当全卖了也不够。 排除C是因为觉得， 那些本身经济状况就很差的在第一年被淘汰掉以后，剩下的那些没说经济状况如何啊，如果也不咋地，第二年还是得淘汰啊。 A选项当时觉得，即使credit extended，对pay off on time也无太大用处，但最起码跟原文意思接近。所以选了A。

求解

请问这道题为什么选B呀？

请问余数可以不是整数嘛？这道题怎么解释？

老师这个问题还没有解答 As引导的句子问题： 第一个句子as...as...是表示链接的内容程度一样吗，翻译起来感觉不太顺。the circumstances翻译成了这些规律和原则，哪些规律和原则？指代的是什么？此外with引导的是伴随状语？那as...as...作什么成分呢 第二个句子insofar查了是adv.在这个范围；到这个程度的意思。insofar as引导的是什么？insofar as the literature analysis is concerned怎么理解呢 第三个句子，四个as...第一个as意思是作为,第二个as意思也是作为？generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition怎么理解？第三和第四个as,表示和。。。一样，并列的是哪两个部分，什么和什么一样呢，后面the Chinese in California and the Jew in medieval Europe省略了什么

画线部分不理解。more...than..more后面的of the preindustrial European population比the 2 or 3 percent多？the preindustrial European population是不是应该放在investigate后面比较好

所以这一题c选择creating之所以修饰individual是因为这不是一个svo，+doing的形式所以采取的是就近修饰原则吗？

想问一下金老师，这道题c选择og解释里面说的是修饰individual不是reactions呀，您为啥说是修饰reactions呢

请问怎么从第二段看出来作者的观点是enable to enforce property right不是因为arbitrary 而是因为earlier parents often violated copyright law

我画粉色的这个是一个svo+doing形式吗 还是说它跟在that之后就不算一个完整句

请问什么情况下可以跳着修饰呀？
