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

(A)about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many
(B)of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in Laos there is a population of only four million, and many
(C)that is about the same size as Great Britain's land area, but in Laos with a population of only four million people, many of them
(D)comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four m川ion in population, and many
(E)comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom
这题选e，我有一点不是很能理解。为什么"Laos has a land area comparable to that of..."这里comparable to直接加载area的后面，我不是很能理解。在我的认识里，应该是“Laos has a land area which is comparable to that of..."才对。想请教一下这种用法叫做什么。

LZ的思路没错，只是这里省略了which is。

所有的现在分词或过去分词，跟在一个名词后，修饰该名词的时候（充当形容词的作用），其实都是省略了which is 的定语从句。

从句中是系表结构，即“系动词be+表语”这种情况，which is 都能省略，不管是主语还是宾语。

但是如果which is 后面不是形容词，就不能省。举个例子：Ada is reading a book which is her birthday present.

万分感谢，所以也可以说是which用作修饰的时候，后面接 be + adj的话，which就可以省略掉了吗？
