这个题目是考比较的，从未划线入手比较快 as that .... ， 前面一定有 that 从句对称平行的
有that 只有C，THAT 使用错误。
比较结构， 从未划线的判断比较关键，这样能节省不少时间
not so much that .... as that
另外OG中还出现了more becacuse ... than becacuse / ----- 也就是说在than 后出现了连词，基本前面出现的可能比较大

The members of a comparison (more X than Y) should be expressed in parallel form. D, the best choice, correctly uses parallel clauses introduced by because. The clauses themselves are clear and direct. Choice E uses parallel forms, but the convoluted structures are awkward and wordy. Furthermore, the word bodies would need an apostrophe (bodies') since it is the logical subject of the gerund burning (that is, it answers the question, "Whose burning?"). A, B, and C do not use parallel forms for the two members of the comparison. In addition, A and B use due to unidiomatically to mean because; properly used, due to is synonymous with attributable to.
记得GWD中好像也出现了这样的比较结构。 LZ 可以查查
