lzm语法上一题

Wind resistance created by opening windows while driving results in a fule penalty as great or greater than is incurred by using air conditioning.

c,as great as or greater than that of using air conditioning

e,at least as great as that incurred by using air conditioning

在刘振民语法书中p161,对c的解释是that指代wind resistance,我不解,对正确答案e的解释就是that指代fuel penalty,that在句中的指代是就近吗,还是什么判断原则呢,渴求指教!

C. 'that' refers to 'penalty'.  LZM书上肯定说错了。

'that' 的指代要根据句意而定，其之前有多个名词时，易产生指代不明错误。
