大全359 14. In 1990’s, there are more babies were born by women over thirty years old than
under it. A (A) than under it (B) than were they under it (C) than had been under it (D) than were the babies (E) than those were under it 这题真得不明白，谁能帮我分析一下？
in the original question there is no " were" after "babies", otherwise, the sentence is run-on sentence. the first point is that "it" refers to thirty years old. here the sentence campara the number of babies, whose mothers were over thirty years old when babies were born, to the number of babies whose mothers' age was under thirty years old when they were born. In choice B, " they" is definite pronoun, so "they" refer to "babies" or "women over thirty years old". if it refers to the first one, the sentence leads to absurdity( object is uncomparable), babies are under thirty years old; if it refers to the second one, they are the same people whose age over thirty years old and under thirty years old , so the sentence cause illogical faulty. In choice C, the verb tense. In choice D, the sentence is unclear to show the comparable point. In choice E, ' those' refers to the babies, thus the sentence is faulty comparism. I hope my opion is helpful for to understand the question.
