本题的答案是A。

我的问题是，为何不选B？该比较句式前后比较的成分是什么？

此题有疑问。
A is best.

than it/they seemed 和 than estimated/thought/anticipated基本可以算固定搭配
originally 用过去式
不定式省略，要省连to一起省

补充：
1)KAPLAN2001模拟测试第二套中一题:
Researchers are studying plastics that dissolve at different rates, and they are finding that the so-called 'quick disintegration' plastics are taking more time to deteriorate than they originally seemed.
a) they originally seemed
b) they seemed originally
c) it seemed that they would originally
d) it originally seemed
e) it originally seemed they would
这题答案是E
解释：The tricky part here is choosing between 'they' and 'it'. 'They' would imply that the plastics themselves first seemed to do one thing, and then ended up duoing something else. The expletive 'it' - the pronoun that has no particular antecedent - makes more sense; it suggests simply that initial indications turned out to be misleading. Using 'it', it's necessary to include the phrase 'they would', to make it clear what seemed to be the case.
KAPLAN题中they originally seemed似乎只能省略to deteriorate但这样意思表达不对。
E中，补全后是plastics are taking more time to deteriorate than it originally seemed they would take (time) to deteriorat
it seemed that的that可省。

大全305的A，补全后是they originally seemed to cost, seemed的省略似乎没问题，只是they originally seemed to cost好像没有it originally seemed they would cost的意思表达的好。

看完仙人的解释之后，感觉清晰了很多。同时，谢谢楼上2位的相助。

'seemed to'. In English classes, I was told to never end a sentence with a prepesitional word(to, in, on...)

我的理解是：originally要用过去式，所以B肯定不对。
