So-called green taxes, which exact a price for the use of polluting or nonrenewable fuels, are having a positive effect on the environment and natural resource base of countries as varied as China, the Netherlands, and Hungary.

(A) as varied as

(B) as varied as are

(C) as varied as those of

(D) that are as varied as

(E) that are varied as are

答案选A。

我的问题是 Prep的解释上说A的结构可以理解为X as varied as Y ， X是指countries, Y是指 China, the Netherlands, and Hungary，是这样吗？as varied as第二个as后面是不是还省略了东西，老觉得这个句子别扭，特别是 green taxes have effect on sth of countries as varied as( sth of )China, the Netherlands, and Hungary, 补全了是这样吗？

同楼主问。

虽然C的those不能指代base，但我还是在想，如果题目很WS的出了一个

as varied as that of 的选项怎么办列？
