A - 比較對像不對: people in France vs. the United States
B - 比C, D, E好
C - their有點不是很清楚是指people in France or people in the United States.
D - 有一點改了原意, 因為原句有說明是people consume fatty不是別的動物.
E - 不如B concise

A: comparable或者修饰rate,或者修饰people,但无论哪一个都存在比较对象混乱的问题，their优先指代people in France, 后面语义不通.

B: 正确. 虽然也存在歧义性问题, at the same rate可能作状语修饰句子的消费行为, 也可能作fatty foods后置的限定修饰, 但这两种歧义性的差异并不大.

C: their指代fatty foods, 后面语义不通

D: the rate应该为the rates, 因为the same通常是在两个事物之间比较

E: the rate应该为the rates, the rate of people consuming fatty foods不对, 不符合常识(每个人都会吃到fatty foods吧, 那这个rate没有意义)

谢谢！！

被两位一指点，更让我觉得，SC的漏洞其实是很多的，

多练习，应该可以做得更好。

我看到有中说发是，C中有被动所以错。

要小心區别correctness的錯誤跟effectiveness的錯誤
passive voice有可是effectiveness的錯誤, 可是不是correctiveness的錯誤...
