There is a widespread belief in the United States and Western Europe that young people have a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents and that the source of the change lies in the collapse of the "work ethic."
(A) a smaller commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
(B) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents
(C) a smaller commitment to work and a career than that of their parents and grandparents
(D) less of a commitment to work and a career than their parents and grandparents had
(E) a lessening of the commitment to work and a career that their parents and grandparents had
这题的主干是比较句子。 young people have .... less than parents had.
1)额,这里我觉得less是做名词用的。。。。
2)时态变了必须补出来。 这是比较的过去与现在。 所以要用HAD。
3) "that of their parents" is a possessive, and there's no corresponding possessive on the left. 所以that无指代。错
