Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.
A. people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their
B. people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the
C. fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States's, their
D. the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the
E. the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

题目释义：Although people in France & US consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.
考点：
逻辑意思（logical predication）句子结构（grammatical construction）
1. 比较对象。
2. 逻辑意思。
选项分析：
A. rate和US比较，比较对象不对等；their为完全指代，故their指代people in France, 代入句中即death retes of people in France…are far lower in France，语义重复
B. Correct
C. Their指代People in France错误；被动的使用awkward；the United States's后面的省略无法还原，比较对象不明确
D. the rate of fatty foods错，不是foods的rate，而应该是consuming foods的rate；consumed in France and the United States错误，应该在the United States前加in，同时主语rate应改为rates，且谓语动词改为are
E. the rate of people错误，不是people的rate，应该是the rate of consumption；同时rate应改为rates，且谓语动词改为复数，在the United States前加in

为什么B中the United States前不用加in？？？区别在哪？
（不知道是不是很弱智的问题啊》《）
