再问OG199

199. Because the Earth's crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.

(A)  of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West

(B)   of a given magnitude will typically devastate 100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern United States instead of the West

(C)  will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern United States than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(D)  in the eastern United States will typically
                devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(E)   that occurs in the eastern United States will
                typically devastate 100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West

At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 100 times the area... than is unidiomatic.

In the eastern united states 放在越靠前的地方越好，对应because从句中的there。--仅仅凭这一条就可以在10秒钟之内解决问题。

另外，我是刚涉足OG的新人，这是第一遍做OG-SC，感觉有两个问题：

1、觉得180题之前都还好，180题之后狂错不止，弄的我巨没有信心，不知各位第一次做的时候是什么情形，能否说说？

2、我采取的是先做->再对答案->再看看OG和菜鸟的注释，以及CD上的讨论，可是感觉这样超级慢，每天都只能看几十题（<50），是不是我的方法有些不妥啊？

多谢各位前辈帮忙指正指正！

In the eastern united states是修饰earthquake的,应该尽量靠近修饰词.至于对应there,没看出来.

OG错了没什么关系,不说明问题,而且错了才能发现问题,不挺好么

等你做GWD时候才没信心呢
