标题: 一到比较级我就晕，怎么做啊，请指教

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

a greater proportion than it was
a greater proportion than
a greater proportion than they have been
which is greater than was so
which is greater than it has been

答案是C，我想知道 THEY指代是啥，如果是Soaring television costs，谓语是accounted for ，后面比较的内容助动词不应该用HAVE BEEN 啊？为什么会有一个BEEN呢？请指教

首先这题的答案是B，分析见下：（我摘录别人的）

soaring，adj，高飞的，翱翔的

account for，说明，占，解决，得分

A，it指代不清

B is the best 类似拿破仑带粮食的那道比较题

C，部分人认为C对，但they不能指代proportion，且时态没必要使用完成时

D， which指代不正确

E ，which指代不正确，it指代不清，时态不好

同位语是ETS比较优选的结构。

谢谢，这是GWD里的一题，我选的是B，可答案却是C

实际上A的错误在于a greater proportion是一个名词，无法和it was ...这个句子比较。

C肯定错，因为they无法指代。

从WIKIPEDIA拷贝点东西过来，觉得说的不错，大家看看～

"Than" is a grammatical particle serving as both conjunction and preposition in the English language. It introduces a comparison, and as such is associated with comparatives, and with words such as more, less, and fewer. Typically, it seeks to measure the force of an adjective or similar description between two predicates.

In actual usage, than functions as both conjunction and preposition; when it is used as a conjunction, it governs the nominative case, and when a preposition, the oblique case.

To determine the case of a pronoun following "than" observing the stricter rules, a writer must look for extra understood words and determine how they relate to the pronoun.

Examples

You are a better swimmer than she.
- represents "You are a better swimmer than she is."
- therefore, "You are a better swimmer than her" is arguably incorrect usage.

They like you more than her.
- represents "They like you more than they like her."
- therefore, "They like you more than she" would instead mean "They like you more than she likes you".
PS:nominative case[-n…-t1v] 【语法】主格的，称谓的：关于或属于限定动词的主语这种情况的（如I 在 I wrote the letter 中）或属于相当于系词的主语的，如谓语性主格词（如 children 在 These are his children .)
oblique case: Grammar Designating any noun case except the nominative or the vocative.
【语法】间接的：由除主格或宾格的名词表示的
n.（名词）
