请问OG-187的比较结构中成分的省略问题

187. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

(A)  Americans were killed as

(B)  Americans were killed than

(C)  Americans were killed than those who

(D)  more Americans were killed as there

(E)  more Americans were killed as those who

OG认为C和E中those who is a wordy intrusion。

WHY？代词何时需要省何时又不能省？省了是否感觉比较对象不对

等？在A最后加上those对不对？若加those who呢？

请NN们指点。谢谢！

这里those who和OG里另一题one that的考点类似，都是定从的引导词补出累赘。其实代词的补出关键在于清楚明了，如此题those作为一个代词已经明确了指代对象，而who无非是再次重复指代，所以没有必要。需要指出的是，这种结构不能说绝对的错误，只能说不够简洁，在实战中，类似的考点可以作为排除选项的第二梯队关键点。

谢谢指点！

但根据“比较对象要平行对等”这一原则，“those”这一关键指代词能省吗？若将其省略，我感觉比较结构的后面部分就缺失了与前对应的对象了。而且OG在其解释中也曾说到将有关比较对象及其后面的助动词补出的重要性。在OG132，OG198中也存在这样的疑问。现在我真的是很糊涂了。

还请点拨！谢谢！

没有NN回答？？？

唉，只好自已再顶一下了！

认同stoneren的说法, 顶多补出those.....

不过照OG132最后对省略的说法, many Americans很明确的是would later be killed 的主语

是的，经加深体会，我也感觉补出who的确不对。

但对于those 的省略还未理解透，再体会吧！
