GMAT语法改错的难度一方面来自题干，另一方面来自选项，因为我们要依靠选项之间的差别来获得信息、寻求提示，其实这就反映了GMAT语法改错答案的特点--永远只有相对正确而不存在绝对正确。接下来小编就给大家介绍一下GMAT语法题，希望对大家备考GMAT语法考试有帮助。
85. According to a recent poll, owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, like that of earlier generations.
(A) like that of earlier generations
(B) as that for earlier generations
(C) just as earlier generations did
(D) as have earlier generations
(E) as it was of earlier generations
答案解析如下：
(A)like that of earlier generations
【错误】 句子意思：语法上没有比较结构“like that of earlier generations”与“a goal of a majority of young adults”，但“like”用于比较仅仅能表达“that(the goal)of earlier generations”与“a goal of a majority of young adults”相似，并不能向(E)表达“owning and living……”是“a goal of a majority of young adults”就像“it”(平行指代“owning and living……”)是“that of earlier generations”的含义。因此表意逊于(E)
(B)as that for earlier generations
【错误】 比较结构：本选项本意是用“as”引导比较句式，并对“as”之后的比较从句进行省略。如果我们将省略得部分不全，那么完整的比较句式应该是：owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults，as it(指代“owning and living……”) was that(指代“a goal”)for earlier generations。然而本选项将“it was”省略，使我们我发确定“that for earlier generations”是在与“a goal of a majority of young adults”平行作为比较从句“was”之后的标语，因此产生了比较歧义——本选项还可能表达：owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults，as that(指代“a goal”)for earlier generations is a goal of a majority of young adults。
(C)just as earlier generations did
【错误】 比较结构：“earlier generations did”与“owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults”两个主谓结构不具有可比性，无法用“just as”比较。
(D)as have earlier generations
【错误】 比较结构：“earlier generations have”与“owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults”两个主谓结构不具有可比性，无法用“as”比较。
(E)as it was of earlier generations
【正确】 本选项正确使用了比较句式，补齐省略部分两个平行可比的主谓结构为“owning and living……is still a goal of a majority of young adults, as it(平行指代‘owning and living……’)was(a goal)of earlier generations”，比较关系明确合理。
【大意】 根据最近民调，拥有并住在一个独栋房子中仍然是主流成年人的目标，就像其曾是早代人的目标一样。
【最优解题思路推荐】
看见比较找比较对象，比较对象如果不是平行且可比的就要排除选项。本题中只有“owning and living in a freestanding house on its own land is still a goal of a majority of young adults, as it was of earlier generations”是正确的，省略后的比较句式，其中“it”指代“owning and living……”，因此“it was”与前半句的“owning and living……is”平行，“of earlier generations”与前半句中“of a majority of young adults”平行，而“it was”与“of”之间省略了“a goal”，但这种省略并没有产生歧义。(A)选项虽然没有明显语法错误，但表意没有(E)准确合理，因此选择(E)。
