GWD-24-2
                

According to public health officials, in 1998 Massachusetts became the first state in which more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it.

A.     than  

B.     than born  

C.     than they were 

D.     than there had been 

E than had been born

为什么不需要BORN来区分这个than 后面是babies还是women？我觉得答案应该是b吧？

请注意应该是Baby比较Baby...

从太傻看到的，觉得说得很明白

B 错因为 than born under it 这样前又省略后又省略，中间却不省略 born，并不是地道的说法。要补回省略，可以这样：more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than
were born to women under that age。要补就要说 were born，不能只说 born，而且要把 were born 以后的省略通通补回。
