谢谢童鞋发这道题，因为我初次Kane也不懂哈。 但是我去曼哈顿搜到这道题了哈，把大神RON的解释贴过来给你：
【There's a very subtle difference in meaning, although Stacey is correct that the main issue is that of redundancy/wordiness. But consider the difference between these two sentences, which would illustrate the point:
(1) I get mail from cities as far away as Providence.
(2) I get mail from cities that are as far away as Providence.
If I'm in San Francisco, then sentence #2 means, strangely enough, that I get mail from cities that are all exactly 3,082 miles away (the distance from SF to Providence). Sentence #1 implies no such thing.
Similarly, the wrong answer (D) seems to imply that EACH country is somehow as 'varied' as EACH other country. That's not the intended meaning, which is that the SET of countries is varied.】
“So-called green taxes, which exact a price for the use of polluting or nonrenewable fuels, are having a positive effect on the environment and natural resource base of countries as varied as China, the Netherlands, and Hungary. ”
这句话结构不难懂： taxes，which...， are having effect on ...countries as varied as ...
你可以再看看RON给的例子。作者: ayoyoyo 时间: 2014-8-10 19:42
as varied as用来举例是一个常见的做法。跟such as用法差不多。
即使不了解这个常见用法，也是只能选A。一方面除了D选项以外其他选项语法都说不通，另一方面D选项的含义非常诡异，也显然说不通。作者: VideoHead 时间: 2019-1-25 16:27
我觉得这个道题目可能最好的办法就是排除法，除了A以外的选项都有一些硬上的问题。B有两个are一个句子两个谓语肯定不行 C those是复数，前面没有合适的指代对象， D that are 所以that是复数，也没有设施的指代对象 E同理， 所以只能选A作者: Rieu 时间: 2019-1-30 06:37
个人看法此处的宾语补足语也可以用“being as varied as C, the N and H”。Being一般可省略。作者: lynnzeng9494 时间: 2021-7-29 23:23
