以下文章中，有關文法和單字詞意想請問各位, 謝謝 As high school seniors across the United States wait anxiously for the responses to their college applications, some can take comfort in knowing they sent out the best applications that money can buy. 請問take comfort in後接的動詞都是有ving嗎？s Their parents paid hundreds -- sometimes thousands -- of US dollars to consultants who helped the students write admissions essays, practice for interviews, prepare for tests and even pick after-school activities, hoping to improve their chance of admission. 2. 為何此段後的hoping要用ving呢？ ``Certainly it skews things for people who can afford it, but the whole system is skewed that way, unfortunately,'' said Andrea DuBrow, who hired a consultant to help her daughter get into college. 3. 請問句首的Certainly是疑問副詞嗎？為何後面不用加逗點Certainly, it skews things... 4. skewed that way可解釋成走鐘嗎？ Many students who can't afford a private consultant aren't getting the attention they need from a high school counselor. There are now some groups attempting to level the playing field by providing free college consulting for students with low-income parents. 5. 為何attempting要加ving? One such group, College Match, gives low-income students in the Los Angeles area two years of intensive college preparation and guidance counseling, including free trips to east coast colleges. 6. 請問One such group, College Match, ...是同位語嗎？ But some college officials question whether college consultants are really neccesary at all. Bruce Poch, vice president and dean of admissions at Pomona College in Claremont, California, said many parents hire consultants out of ``paranoia'' about the difficulty of the application process. ``Most of what a private consultant provides can be found in a few books or on the college's own Web site,'' Poch said. 7. 這段的out of 可解釋成因為的意思嗎？ -- Sent by PTTNOW from my SM-N950F --
