みなさん、いつもお世話になっています。
３つわからない問題があります。どなたかアドバイスいただけるとありがたいです。いずれもGMATKINGのHPからDLしたDISCLOSURE問題からです。
556-08
Contrary to the scholarly wisdom of the 1950's and early 1960's that predicted the processes of modernization and rationalization <<would gradually undermine it>>, ethnicity is a worldwide phenomenon of increasing importance.
A.would gradually undermine it
B.to be a gradual undermining of it
C.would be a gradual undermining of ethnicity
D.to gradually undermine ethnicity with
E.gradually undermining it
predictにto doは駄目だと思い、BD除外。
thatがないので節は受けられないと思い、ACも除外。
で、Eかなと思いつつ、itが何を指すかいまいちわからず、それが明らかなCの可能性もあるかと思い直し、Cを選びました。
正解はA.
556-14
With cloning technology, scientists are approaching what has long been the ultimate goal of modern husbandry: <<achieving a consistency of quality and production in farm animals as once thought to be>> limited to manufactured goods.
A.achieving a consistency of quality and production in farm animals as once thought to be
B.achieving farm animals with a consistency of quality and production as were once thought of as
C.achieving in farm animals a consistency of quality and production that was once thought to be
D.achievement of farm animals whose consistency of quality and production are the same as what were once thought to be
E.achievement of farm animals at a consistency of quality and production once thought of as
goalと同格になるものということで、ABCは除外。thought to be でDを選択。
正解はC。
556-15
Under the 1986 tax law, interest payments on a refinanced home loan are deductible only if the amount of the loan does not exceed the purchase price of the home, the cost of improvements, and <<any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses>>.
A.any additional amount borrowed against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
B.borrowing any additional amount against the home for payment of medical or educational expenses
C.also borrowing any additional amount against the home to pay for medical or educational expenses
D.any additional payment of medical or educational expenses that were borrowed against the home
E.any additional payment borrowed against the home for medical or educational expenses
the purchase price、the costにパラレルになるものということで考え、BCは除外。でも、ADEはどれもOKに見えてしまいます。
後でふと思ったのは、paymentは「支払い」であり、お金の額のことではないのであれば、DEは除外できるかも、ということですが、これとて自信はありません。
正解はA。
以上、どなたかよろしくお願いします。
