两道题都是说“（相同）or（相近），尽管有不同”。第一题选D，说的是（相似）。第二题选的是312，说的是（相同）。楼主先做的琦叔七套，以为这种出现“尽管有不同但是。。”的题目，就选（相似）而非（相同）。按这个思路第二题一空应该选1，可是magoosh尽然来,3。

于是乎。。。
楼主但疼了，十分疼。求助！

这两题当然不一样了，第一个描述的是solutions, 肯定只能相似，不可能完全相同。 第二个看语境就知道，人们把这两个当做同一种东西，只有tentamount表示相同

identical 是完全相同，similar和analogous是相似，鸟和飞机不是identical但是在某一方面是analogous和similar。第二题tantamount to也是相同，对于人的主观意识而言可以相同，只要他们认为是相同那就是相同的，客观上等不等同另说，这是逻辑的问题。
