问一个比较的题目

381.In his eagerness to find a city worthy of Priam, the German archaeologist Schliemann cut through Troy and uncovered a civilization a thousand years older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew.
(A) older as was the city Homer’s heroes knew
(B) more ancient than the city known to Homer’s heroes
(C) older than was the city known to Homer’s heroes
(D) more ancient of a city than Homer’s heroes knew
(E) older of a city than was the one known to Homer’s heroes
the key:B

答案是B，但是C错在哪里呢？在这里不该补出was么？

但我觉得原句的意思是the civilization is 1000 years older than was the city阿

试着探讨一下，是不是civilization与civilization比，不需要出现was,那样就应该是句子与句子的比较了。

请楼主参照版规，把标题改为同意格式
