758选B
关于A，答案说不能将价格和时间比较
但是772答案选A，我觉得这个和758的A是一个情况啊，为啥这里就对了呢？

本人一直搞不清楚这种比较的，有时候感觉明白了，下一题又感觉糊涂了。
希望有大神指点！
提前谢过！

三天后考试，看到这个问题恰好又知道一些，就决定奉献自己的CD首答，来攒一点人品！
先说结论: 758里A选项中的比较是成立的。A句中真正的错误点在are hunting... and therefore raised这里。
无论是758里的A还是772里面的A，都是比较从句中的省略。是一个考点。下面是这个考点的一些介绍：
1. 标志词：Than, as, as… as…
2. 比较从句如何省略？
从句和主句部分前后相同的部分(主语，谓语，主谓等等)可以省略，主语平行后面一半省略动词，省略名词一般把介词保留
Eg: I have a better understanding of students today than I had an understanding of students 8 years ago.
=I have a better understanding of students today than I did 8 years ago.
=I have a better understanding of students today than 8 years ago.
做题技巧: ①首先判断省略了啥；②补充完整；③观察平行/语义
The economy might not as weak as (the economy) (that) some analysts previously thought.
Digging in sediments in northern China, scientists have gathered evidence suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than (life-forms) previously thought.
3. 省略后的一些问题
a. 省略后产生歧义
I love Mengqi more than Liyaodong. ✖
b. 如果than/as比较从句后面出现完成时(have done)，同时把done省略了，主句里面要有对应的have done，否则可能有歧义
I have eaten more than Tom has. ✔
I ate more than Tom has eaten. ✔
I ate more than Tom has. ✖ 第一感觉会认为has是有的意思而不是完成时

有个说法是OG的出题人是GMAC而写解析的是外包机构。所以我们经常能看到OG的答案和出题思路有偏差。这题758的A选项的比较肯定是没有问题的，我认为A选项的错误是raised，如果用raised，则前面不应该搭配现在进行时，现在正在进行的事情影响过去发生的事是不合逻辑的，应该改为现在完成进行时，即事情已经在发生，还在持续的影响未来，那么影响过去也是顺理成章的。由于题干已经用了现在进行时，所以raise就不能用一般过去时了，可以用一般现在时或这现在进行时，所以选B。但就comparison来说，我认为A的比较方法比B好。
