168.Because the Earth’s crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.
我认为这道题代表了一类有阴险用心的GMAT比较题目。
他比较的是earthquake in the eastern US 和earthquake in the western US 破坏造成area的不同。注意: 因为earthquake的模样一样，我们很容易把它误认为是主语的定语不同(western 和 eastern) 进行比较，然后我们就很自然的用it来指代前面出现的earthquake －－然后就掉入了GMAT的圈套！
因为这里it不只指代了earthquake, 而是指代了有定语的 earthquake in the eastern US, 所以A就错在比较变成了 "东部的地震"在东部(上海) 和 在西部(新疆)的破坏程度，当然西部(新疆)一点事没有了，比较含义错。E错当然也有it的原因了，但更错的是than后面跟了从句，比较对象不对等
改正的方法当然就是重复earthquake，不省略，不指代，D里面用了quake

以下是引用Hamiton在2007-8-24 1:29:00的发言：
168.Because the Earth’s crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.
我认为这道题代表了一类有阴险用心的GMAT比较题目。
他比较的是earthquake in the eastern US 和earthquake in the western US 破坏造成area的不同。注意: 因为earthquake的模样一样，我们很容易把它误认为是主语的定语不同(western 和 eastern) 进行比较，然后我们就很自然的用it来指代前面出现的earthquake －－然后就掉入了GMAT的圈套！
因为这里it不只指代了earthquake, 而是指代了有定语的 earthquake in the eastern US, 所以A就错在比较变成了 "东部的地震"在东部(上海) 和 在西部(新疆)的破坏程度，当然西部(新疆)一点事没有了，比较含义错。E错当然也有it的原因了，但更错的是than后面跟了从句，比较对象不对等
改正的方法当然就是重复earthquake，不省略，不指代，D里面用了quake
＝，＝果然阴险
下次碰到换张脸的还得错
又理解了下，觉得是不是A中greater修饰的是那个时间状语？所以应改为 ... than that in the in the West （that指代被修饰成分an area)
而C正确是不是因为greater在这里修饰的是宾语area?所以than后面是个省略了主谓的句子
说得自己都有点晕了，望NN指正

这个是OG10版里的199题，原解释如下：
At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 700 times the area... than is unidiomatic.
另，than 和as 是可以代替后一主语的
