请教一个语法题"In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater respect than most W

E9—53 In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater respect than most Western
countries．
(A)most Western countries
(B)most Westem countries do
(C)most Western countries&re
(D)they do in most Western countries
(E)they are in most Western countries

答案是E。我选的A。

我觉得前面的中心词是Japan，而不是elderly people，所以选择国家的对应。

老人如何对应呢？谁能给个解释？

谢谢！

为何？是因为japan在前面，people在后面，更靠近than吗？

从句意上，我的理解是japan对应于西方国家，所以选了A。

ok，理解了。比较对象是尊重，而非老年人，也非国家。

多谢大家的热情帮助。

choose e

in Japan 与in most western countries 对应，排除abc

de比较，划线外为elderly people are treated ，所以e对应
