标题: OG13 SC 43
43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north

D. comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many

E. comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people,many of whom

请教下各位XDJM，
D选项到底错哪了？难道就是因为the coording conjunction 'and' gives undue emphasis to the claim that many of the piople in Laos live in inaccessible places ?
对于E选项的话我还觉得是错的呢~~population 和people 用得多redundant啊~~~~
求解释~~

and出现不符合句意

转折的是Laos地广但是人稀！！理解清这个转折

D选项的and many of 给予了人们这个成分太多的重心！这个部分应该是修饰成分，不能出现在主句的转折！因为不是转折的一部分

land area should be compared to land area ， not size

我明白了，本来many 那部分是属于从属句（where引导的），但是D选项却用一个 and引导，把它从属的位置变成和主句平行的位置了！~~~~
！！真是太感谢了！！

但是D选项如果去掉AND前面的COMMA的话，是不是就对了？

去掉AND前的逗号也不对，因为去掉后MANY后引导的是一个从句，与前面的从句没有连词连接。D项错误还有个原因是MANY指代不清楚，POPULATION本身也不是一个复数。people, many of whom才清楚。

D有很多错误：
* "comparable to the size of...", while not incorrect, is inferior to "comparable to that of..."
i.e., it's better to compare a land area to another land area (that of...) than to the somewhat ambiguous "size".

the more important reasons:

* "4 million in population" is not idiomatic.

* it's not clear to what "many" refers.

* "and" is an inappropriate transition; it suggests that there is no essential connection between "many..." and the previous mention of population.
