GMAT句子改错题(sentence correction)，是整个GMAT考试中对考生英语语法能力考查要求最高的题型，也往往是中国学生最为头疼的一类题目。没有扎实的语法基础和一定的逻辑分析能力，想要做好句子改错题难度极高。如何提升GMAT句子改错题的解题能力?下面小编就为大家整理了一些经典例题，结合实例分析为大家讲解GMAT句子改错题的解题思路和方法技巧。
实例题目：
According to some analysts, the gains in the stock market reflect growing confidence that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come in for a “soft landing,” followed by a gradual increase in business activity.
(A) that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
(B) in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
(C) in the economy’s ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
(D) in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
(E) that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
选项分析：
(A)that the economy will avoid the recession that many had feared earlier in the year and instead come
【正确】 “that ”引导的从句作同位语正确地修饰了“confidence”，叙述了“信息”的具体内容，过去完成时的“had feared”与“earlier in the year(今年更早些时候)”语义搭配合理。
【大意】 根据一些分析师的说法，股票市场的利得反映了正在增长的信心：经济将避免早些时候人们担忧的衰退并达到一个由商业活动逐渐增加跟随着的“软着陆”。
(B)in the economy to avoid the recession, what many feared earlier in the year, rather to come
【错误1】 平行结构：有日常逻辑可知，“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上应是平行的，但两个平行的对象不能仅仅用“rather”一个词连接。
【错误2】 固定搭配：不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表达“对X做某事有信心”的用法。
(C)in the economy's ability to avoid the recession, something earlier in the year many had feared, and instead to come
【错误】 平行结构：有日常逻辑可知，“to avoid the recession”和“to come”本意上应是平行的，但两个平行的对象不能仅仅用“rather”一个词连接。
(D)in the economy to avoid the recession many were fearing earlier in the year, and rather to come
【错误1】 动词时态：“many were fearing”逊于过去完成时的“had feared”，因为“had feared”和“earlier in the year”更加搭配——今年更早些时候，属于“过去的过去”。
【错误2】 固定搭配：见(B)中【错误2】。
(E)that the economy will avoid the recession that was feared earlier this year by many, with it instead coming
【错误1】 动词时态：类似地，见(D)中【错误1】。
【错误2】 简洁明了：在GMAT考察的标准书面英语中，主动句简洁性优于被动句，因此“that was feared”简洁性逊于(A)中“that many had feared”。
解题思路：
(C)中两个本应平行的“to do”结构没有“and”连接，排除，不存在“confidence in X to do sth.”表达“对X做某事有信心”的用法，排除(B)、(D)。
(A)比(B)相对简洁，因此选择(A)。
