Recently we asked for your opinions about paying students to improve school attendance or performance on tests. (最近我們向你們詢問有關付費請學生到校上課或參加考試的意見。)

But more of you were against the idea than were __42__ it. (但你們當中反對的意見多過於支持。)

42. (A)for 支持 (B)liking喜歡 (C)support 支持 (D)to 向

[考文法] 這裡考的是，than，對等連接詞的概念。

前面是 be against the idea (反對意見)，後面應為 be for the idea(支持)。

這裡的 against 及 for 是介係詞。

這裡的against 不是動詞喔，仔細看就可看出 be 後，如果是動詞必須改為V-ing 或Vpp !
