标题: 【求教贴】一道有关比较的题目，对于比较对象有疑惑
According to recent studies comparing the nutritional value of meat from wild animals and meat from domesticated animals, wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is good for cardiac health.

A.wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is
B.wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be
C.wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be
D.total fat of wild animals is less than livestock fed on grain and they have more fat of a kind thought to be
E.total fat is less in wild animals than that of livestock fed on grain and more of their fat is of a kind they think is

答案是B
我的主要是纠结于B和C的比较对象上，解答说C项是wild anaimals 和 fat比错误，可是B项在理解上也有歧义
比如这样两句话

I have more apples than Peter

I have more apples than bananas

如果前者是I 和Peter比，后者是apples和bananas 比，可以单凭感觉来确定比较对象吗
为什么wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain 不可能曲解成是fat 和 livestock比

答案是B吧。
首先看B选项。
X is less happy than Y

You are not required to repeat the verb for the second item. The full comparison phrase is "is less happy than" and X and Y are the (parallel) items being compared.
再看C
wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be
than 前后不对称，一边是主谓结构一边是名词词组

请问题目来源？

我的理解
According to recent studies comparing the nutritional value of meat from wild animals and meat from domesticated animals, wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is good for cardiac health.
According to studies, wild animals have less total fat than livestock and more of a kind of fat.

A.wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is (do放错位置，than livestock fed on grain do；they没有指代，理论上they离livestock最近，应该指代它)
B.wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be (livestock fed on grain 和wild animals 对比，按道理主语对比应该补出helping verb DO，但是如果逻辑意思明显也可以不补出，这里不会误解成“脂肪少于家畜”；thought to be是后置modifier修饰fat，如果修饰kind逻辑含义就不对了)
C.wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be (that of错误，wild animal和that (fat)对比错误；thought to be修饰kind错误)
D.total fat of wild animals is less than livestock fed on grain and they have more fat of a kind thought to be (这里主谓结构改成了主系表，主语对比，fat和livestock对比错误；they没有指代；thought to be 修饰kind)
E.total fat is less in wild animals than that of livestock fed on grain and more of their fat is of a kind they think is (我觉得这个对比也不对称，需要写成这样才对称：total fat in wild animals is less than that of livestock，或者total fat is less in wild animals than (省略total fat is) in livestock；their指代错误，这里就近指代livestock；they没有指代，they和their指代的对象不一致)

我今晚又看了Manhattan，纠正我的一个错误
Ron说如果句子逻辑意思清晰，不会比较错误，就不要补出helping verb，也就是说除非必要，否则不用补出helping verb

A.wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is (do放错位置，than livestock fed on grain do我说错了，than后面应该是可以倒装，do livestock和livestock do应该是一样的；they没有指代，理论上they离livestock最近，应该指代它)

B.wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be (livestock fed on grain 和wild animals 对比，按道理主语对比应该补出helping verb DO，但是如果逻辑意思明显也可以不补出，这里不会误解成“脂肪少于家畜”，补充一点这里逻辑含义不会误解，因为不可能animals have livestock，常识可以判断的不用补出helping verb；thought to be是后置modifier修饰fat，如果修饰kind逻辑含义就不对了)
