( ), a man who can express himself effectively is likely to succeed more rapidly than those who can’t.


A、

Other things to be equal 


B、

Were other things equal


C、

To be equal to other things 


D、

Other things being equal


【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:

本题考查独立主格结构。

独立主格结构包括:不定式to do,表示还未发生;现在分词-ing;过去分词-ed。things to be equal表示未完成,所以排除; were不属于非谓语,所以排除;非谓语结构other things being equal相当于从句If other things are equal。所以D项符合题意。

句意:在其他条件相同的情况下,一个能有效表达自己的人比那些不能有效表达的人更有可能获得成功。
