标题: than结构的使用差异比较GWD1-Q16；GWD3-Q30

GWD1-Q16:

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. a greater proportion than it was

B. a greater proportion than

C. a greater proportion than they have been

D. which is greater than was so

E. which is greater than it has been

答案：B

GWD3-Q30:

Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.

A. small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their

B. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their

C. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in

D. more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their

E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in

答案：C。

请问下这两题考点上的区别。第一题than后面直接加的介词结构，第二题than后面要先补上those再加介词结构。请问为什么会有这样的区别呢？是否第一题应该理解为than后同时省略了相同的主谓，但是如果是这样理解，为什么第一题than 后面存在原来的那个谓语，但是第二题than后面只有those这样一个代词不存在谓语呢？请nn帮忙分析下这两道题结构上真正的差异。

我也不明白，up一下

同一个主语在不同的时间条件下比较时than后面的 it is等词语可以省略掉的

一般有代词出现反而容易造成歧义

第二题中的对象不完全一直一个是节能的car than之前不节能的car 所以后面不能省略

还有就是这里要用any other time

A:now is redundant;their is ambiguous

i wonder if this version is ok: small cars are more fuel-efficient than at any other time in

第一题比较的是不同时间的两个election：the presidential campaign of 1992和any previous election.当前后主谓一致时可以省略，但是介词不能省。

第二题比较的是cars.比较对象不能省，因此要补出来。

那A补出it会造成什么歧义呢？

这样说的话就很好理解了，可是如果理解成不同election的proportion在作比较又有什么错呢？

it/they都指同名同物；that/those指同名异物
所以than it和than they都是自己跟自己比，大多数情况是错的，除非是比在不同条件下的‘自己’

第一题是补全后是a greater proportion than (the proportion) in any previous campaign: 第二个proportion跟前面完全一样，省略后无歧义

第二题是一种car跟另一种car比，不是自己比自己，不能用than it/they, 另外这道题的than后没省略谓语，是<prep>短语直接修饰<n>的结构

这么说的话，第一题的proportion和第二题的propotion应该是同名同物吧？

同名同物和同名异物的区别只体现在指代词it/they vs. that/those的区分上
如果不用代词用名词，那逻辑关系上要比代词清晰多了，同名同物、同名异物、异名异物 etc.都可以

标题: 这题在新版破解的prep里有原题，给出的答案是E
我把答案看错了

答案是C，这题我自己也纳闷了好久，哎~不好意思，第一次发帖就犯了粗心的毛病~~

Today’s
technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now
than at any time in their production history.

A.
small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their

B.
small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their

C.
small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in

D.
more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their

E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in

我刚开始也是选E，不过感觉E 好像有歧义，more 可以修饰fuel-efficient 也可以修饰cars...

补充一个例子

Employment costs rose 2.8 percent in the 12 months that ended in September, slightly less than
they did in the year that ended in the previous quarter.

(A) less than they did
(B) less than it did
(C) less than they were
(D) lower than
(E) lower than they were

这个答案是A，我想是因为前后两者比较的是动作而不只是名词，所以需要重新they did

可不可以这样理解，Cars 是有生命周期的，而proportion呢，它是一个动态的数据系列，是一直存在不会消亡的，只是各个时间点的数值不一样罢了

第一个问题Ron 在曼哈顿里是这样解释的
there's ellipsis here. the understood comparison is a repeated instance of "proportion".
in contexts in which you would repeat a noun, you don't have to include the repeated noun; you may merely imply it. this is known as ellipsis.

for instance:
this year's heavyweight champion is shorter than last year's.
here, the second half of the comparison is clearly "last year's heavyweight champion", but you don't have to say "heavyweight champion" again.

前文提到的noun可以省略，但不意味着你一定要省略。不省略也可以是正确的。
第二题的e选项错误是因为redundant，前文已经提到today，就不用now 了。
