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。

王文静老师，我这道题目选了E，因为读起来感觉：a third of them作为elephants的修饰语，有一个with比较顺口也比较符合一般修饰语的语法，能麻烦您解释一下吗

问王文静老师，结合未画线部分C答案相当于用and并列了两个That从句修饰robe，且句子结构，动词时态也没有什么错误，代词they也有明确的指代，请问老师是哪里有问题？

老师请问一下，A答案为什么错？estimated 用来修饰fragments，A和D的区别就是介词 at 和 to 的区别 固定搭配？查了例句 estimate at 是正确的使用 被估计在 。。几百万年以前这个语意放在此句里 我感觉是合理的。

请问一下老师，关于这道题，我是根据 either ..or..绝对的平行做对的，但是在and并列的两个谓语 date 和 were fashioned的这个部分有点困惑。为什么不是date and are fashioned 或者说 dated and were fashioned。我认为这里是在讲述一个客观事实：这个神像可以追朔到什么时期和由什么制成，应该是用一般现在时。were fashioed 是过去式的被动语态对吧？date and were fashioned感觉也不复合并列的要求。

问MAY老师，两个“项目”的会用TT图解决，请问MAY老师像这种三个“项目”的题应该怎么解决？

问MAY老师 我用TT图解决不了这个问题，麻烦老师帮我看一下是哪里出了问题。

May老师，这是博智模考题里面的一道数学题，不理解呢

May老师你好，这道题的第三小题我的解题思路是插空法，但是做出来答案不对，请老师找找我的问题。因为题目说两端不能有女生，那我就让3个女生插在男生当中，5个男生6个空位，但要去掉一头一尾两个空位，就是C4选3*A33*A55（剩下5个男生随便排），请问老师我的思路上哪里错了？

麻烦老师帮我看看我哪里做错了

阴影区的这句话，中间的那个gives，是跟着前面哪个词的? 是哪个词发出的gives动作? 谢谢
