23. 选项C就是the younger and the older people，但是仍然不好，因为这里people是泛指的意思，两相比较，没有the更好

30. visit是及物动词，where不可以作宾语，which前面没有逗号不能用，这里选项E，其实把定语从句的引导词that给省略了：the princely states （that）they

41.这里的such不是举例子，而是一个代词，意思是这些offer，这样指代清楚，而A选项these指代不清；至于company's我也不清楚，请牛仁指点，我揣测是company's这种错误不算correct的错误

不谢

the younger and the older people是特指这些人，没有the是泛指所有的人

题目中的意思是泛指，而且前面workers under forty would show hostility 的worker也没有the，从这里就可以看出是泛指，而且没有the正好与workers对称

哦. 明白了. 再谢.
