207. In the textbook publishing business, the second quarter is historically weak, because revenues are low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare for the coming school year.

low and marketing expenses are high as companies prepare
low and their marketing expenses are high as they prepare
low with higher marketing expenses in preparation
low, while marketing expenses are higher to prepare
low, while their marketing expenses are higher in preparation
A, the best choice, correctly balances the contrasting terms low and high in parallel form (adjectives in the positive degree). It also makes clear who, exactly, is preparing for the coming school year (companies). B uses the plural pronouns their and they without an appropriately stated referent. C, D, and E violate the parallelism needed for the contrasting terms by making the second term an adjective in the comparative degree (higher). Furthermore, the use of higher without a stated point of comparison makes it unclear what the expenses are higher than. E also uses the pronoun their without an appropriate referent.

C, D, and E violate the parallelism needed for the contrasting terms by making the second term an adjective in the comparative degree (higher).

可是我在做题中,出现在比较中,没有出现第二项的啊?

大全中的

729. The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.
(A) The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.
(B) The development of a new jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration and be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.
(C) The new development of a jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.
(D) A newly developed jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle can, and at a lower cost.
(E) A newly developed jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and to cost less.

答案

,就没有说明比较的第二项啊?

这是怎么回事呢?谢谢.

这题有比较吗？没有啊。

那么,OG的解释是什么意思啊?

C, D, and E violate the parallelism needed for the contrasting terms by making the second term an adjective in the comparative degree (higher).

这里有一个暗含的比较，也是一个and的平行结构：
revenues are low and marketing expenses are high
high和low对应

明白了.OG的解释是说CDE用了比较,违背了平行(实际上是个对比.)

平行对称永远是考的最多的点

关于这题还有一点疑问：og 解释说Furthermore, the use of higher without a stated point of comparison makes it unclear what the expenses are higher than.这是不是说明比较后面一定要有比较的对象呢？如果是的话，那如何解释大全729呢？大全729的d选项and at a lower cost.
后面就没有比较的对象啊

taniajj，大全729的题目情况不一样，

729. The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.
(A) The development of a new jumbo rocket that is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and at a lower cost.
(B) The development of a new jumbo rocket is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration and be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.
(C) The new development of a jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit at a lower cost than the space shuttle.
(D) A newly developed jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle can, and at a lower cost.
(E) A newly developed jumbo rocket, which is expected to carry the United States into its next phase of space exploration, will be able to deliver a heavier load of instruments into orbit than the space shuttle and to cost less.

729要表示at a lower cost than the space shuttle,很清楚，只是不能比较2次用一个than,所以移后了，并且省略了than the space shuttle.但是og207甚至连比较对象（就算要一个逻辑比较对象）都没有！你看看整个题目，本根没有the second quarter higher than x的这个x.并且这个higher还是放在with后作伴随，但是with前的low却没有比较，请问jj要是让你来表达这个意思，你会用revenues are low with higher expense than x for perpartion，并且没有比较体x?
