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。

请数学老师解答 谢谢老师

老师，我选的是D选项，因为我认为前后表达的语意上没有因果关系，所以没有必要用A那种形式，doubling作结果状语。D选项就是一种对前面增长多少的修饰，感觉比较合理，希望老师能够完整解答一下这道题的解题思路和步骤，谢谢老师。

在AC两个选项中间纠结了很久，因为这两个选项只有时间状语语序上的区别，最后觉得C把时间状语放在前面表意比较清楚一点，请老师纠正一下我的错误，再讲讲这道题的解题思路，谢谢！

请数学老师解答下 为什么选a 谢谢老师

我的思路是这样的:看到A选项有because 和so就给排除了，B选项句子结构太碎了，而且觉得好像larger than和farther than是并列的不能一个当做修饰一个重点说，C选项句子结构不完整，E选项缺少主句。D选项的句子前面成分可以看成是sun的修饰成分，觉得还是比其他选项优秀的，就选了D。请老师纠正一下我的错误并解答一下这道题的解题思路。谢谢！*^_^*

这道题我就没看懂句义，错选了B,认为原句想表达的句义是:就像.....一样。请老师完整解答一下这道题的解题思路，谢谢老师。

麻烦老师给我解答一下，刚才是我选择B答案纠结了一下，就是顺着读下去that are inseparable很容易理解成修饰social phenomena 主谓不一致，就是that 从句是可以跳跃修饰到emotions 上的吗？这个部分不是很清晰。

请老师给我讲解下这一题，我自己是采取带值的方法，感觉这样子不是很合理。
