31. (26124-!-item-!-188;#058&002968)

Gone are the sharp edges and jutting planes of styles from former eras; instead, designers of

everything from cars to computer monitors have adopted a cornerless style of smooth surfaces and

curves that is more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape for

its own sake.

(A) more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape

(B) more ergonomic, conformed to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape

(C) ergonomic, more conformed to the shape of the body and not to shape flaunted

(D) ergonomic, conforming more to the body's shape rather than shape flaunted

(E) ergonomic, conforming more to the shape of the body than flaunting shape

正确答案：A
我当时排除掉A选项，是因为的曼哈顿第八章中说，除非句子里面有than，否则不要用比较级。但是在这里除了A之后其余几个选项划线部分逗号之后都不平行。
我想请问一下，在没有than的情况下，句子中可以用比较级吗？
求大神指教。

这题和是不是比较级没关系。跟句子本身意思有关。

D. the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about thesame, the

E. the rate of people consuming fattyfoods is about the same in France and the United States, the
