（代词指代）大全38---补充064.请指教。谢谢。

38. According to a recent study, the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children as to receive it from them.
(A) the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children as
(B) the elderly in the United States are four times as likely to give regular financial aid to their children as it is for them
(C) the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children than
(D) it is four times more likely for the elderly in the United States to give regular financial aid to their children than they are
(E) it is four times as likely that the elderly in the United States will give their children regular financial aid as they are

这道题根据比较对象对称+固定比较结构=答案

不过我不太明白代词的指代问题。希望明白的朋友们给我说道说道。

大全注释：

“C正确： the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children than to receive it from them. 其中their和them不是指同一个对象, their指the elderly, them指their children。

A, more as错

B, as后it is for them to 与前the elderly are likely to不匹配。them指代不清their children or the elderly

D, E的they指代不清，more than/as…as前后比较结构不匹配。”

请问为什么BDE存在代词指代不清而AC没有呢？

最近老是问弱弱的问题。麻烦各位了。谢谢。

谢谢songlovegt。

还有一点不明白。

是不是因为有as和than的存在。所以将两个代词隔开。就不存在指代不清的问题。

而B）D）E）中。they和them是在同一句话中，所以存在歧义呢？

那道题我一直觉得应该是指代一样的。都是酒商。所以一直坚定的认为代词出现凡相同意形式的必须指代相同。不过这道题。不得不承认了呀。再次感谢songlovegt
