大全613 613. Sales of United States manufactured goods to nonindustrialized countries rose to $167 billion in 1992, which is 14 percent more than the previous year and largely offsets weak demand from Europe and Japan. (A) which is 14 percent more than the previous year (B) which is 14 percent higher than it was the previous year (C) 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure (D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was (E) an amount that is 14 percent higher than the previous year's figure 这道题我选的是C选项，正确答案是E。 白大侠对C的解释是形容词短语14% higher than ...就近修饰$167billion,逻辑意思不合理，但他在解释E答案是说an amount用作$167billion的同位结构。所以我觉得14% higher than就近修饰$167billion可以啊？我选择它的一个重要理由就在于它的表达很简洁啊，GMAT考试不就是推崇简洁吗？ 请教各位大侠了！
(D) an amount that is 14 percent more than the previous year was
如果改成an amount that is 14 percent more than it in the previous year对吗？
这里more than 和higher than 有没有文章？还是两个都可以用？谢谢！
关于more than 和 higher than 是不是都可以修饰 amount，我不太清楚。但是我觉得 an amount that is 14 percent more than it in the previous year 是不对的。问题出在代词 it 上。如果用 it 的话，不管从逻辑上还是从语法上，它指代的只能是前面已经出现的an amount，但是那个amount是1992年的amount，这样就成了1992年的amount和in previous year 的1992年的amount 相比，逻辑不通。如果把 it 改成 that 就对了。
