标题: 请问到底什么时候该用more?

OG101

101. Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than one percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.
(A) amounts to a sum lower
(B) amounts to less
(C) amounted to less
(D) amounted to lower
(E) amounted to a lower sum (C)

白勇题

18. Sales of United States manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan.
(A) which is 14 percent more than the previous year
(B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year
(C) 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure
(D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was
(E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure (E)

如上两题，OG的解释，“In D, the adjective lower is erroneously used in place of the noun less as object of the preposition to”，说明修饰amount这类数量的名词，应该使用less或者more

白勇题中，选E，固然没问题，也不是因为more或higher选出来，而是than前后的比较对象选择出来的，但是这列毕竟用了higher，我就不明白了

到底什么时候该用more?这体如果根据more的原则，很可能我根本不看E了

此题不用考虑more的用法。D中比较对象不一致，用amount和year比，显然不对。A\B中which指代不明，可排除。只能选E。

我列题目并不是想讨论题目，只是想说明more到底怎么用啊

这题确实和more没关系，但是它的用法和OG说的明显违背，而且还是划线部分！

所以想请教NN more该怎么用？

因为如果总结了rule，很可能不看题就把E排除了

以下是引用brass20y在2008-6-7 15:34:00的发言：

In D, the adjective lower is erroneously used in place of the noun less as object of the preposition to”，说明修饰amount这类数量的名词，应该使用less或者more

解释中的意思是说，to后面应该用noun，而less和lower两个中，less有名词性质，所以用less好；

而且，从这句解释中应该推不出来使用more的意思；

我认为没有一个语法的rule是绝对对的，且语法最终是要看句意的。所以还是要看整体意思再排除选项吧

橙30	An inventory equal to 90 days sales is as much as even the strongest businesses carry, and then only as a way to anticipate higher prices or ensure against storages.
紫86	Since 1986, when the Department of Labor began to allow fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well.
