请问，B选项的谁与谁并列？
B不是在less后面省略了chance吗？补全之后为：
patients A have half the chance, or less chance, of dying a heart attack than patients B.
这句话有什么问题呢？
sb1. are at least less likely than sb2. to do sth
to do sth still modify sb1
大家都认为选E，但实际答案应该是B，因为原文如下：
The early studies of the San Francisco longshoremen, the British civil servants and others suggested that coronary patients who are most active have half or less the chance of dying of a second heart attack as those who are sedentary.

首先证明了half the chance, or less的说法是正确而且实用的
其次，of dying of a heart attack 在这里也是可以用的，当然我认为to die of a heart attack也可以用
最后，E最大的问题就是at least 50% less有歧义，到底是多于50%还是少于呢？此外E还改变了to die of a heart attack的位置，会让人产生后者是被比较对象的限定词而不是比较的对象，OG11中有这类的解释。
所以，应该选B！
答案应该为A,
根据LS提供的原文:
The early studies of the San Francisco longshoremen, the British civil servants and others suggested that coronary patients who are most active have half or less the chance of dying of a second heart attack as those who are sedentary.
本题:
Several studies have found that the coronary patients who exercise most actively have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary.
A. have half or less than half the chance of dying of a heart attack as those who are sedentary
B. have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do
C. have half the chance that they will die of a heart attack, or less, than those who are sedentary do
D. are at least fifty percent less likely to die of a heart attack as those who are sedentary
E. are at least fifty percent less likely than those who are sedentary to die of a heart attack
大家都认为选E，但实际答案应该是B，因为原文如下：
The early studies of the San Francisco longshoremen, the British civil servants and others suggested that coronary patients who are most active have half or less the chance of dying of a second heart attack as those who are sedentary.

感謝根據這位牛大找出類似的文章, 但還是有點不一樣之處
The early studies of the San Francisco longshoremen, the British civil servants and others suggested that coronary patients who are most active have half or less the chance of dying of a second heart attack as those who are sedentary.
但此題 B. have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do
B. have half the chance, or less, of dying of a heart attack than those who are sedentary do
與您所說之處還是有異, or less 要修是誰? the chance? 如果是休市the chance就要跟您所po文一樣
half or less the chance 一起修飾, 再者, 您所po之文後面為as非此題than, 此題有than 表示有所比較之意
您所po之文僅表示, 雷同之意
