你要告诉我们，你的问题是什么？

哦~嘿嘿
不太理解后面的the~他没有指代不是么？选项B把两个地区的人并列在一起~ 然后后面就说了个the指代united States的比率~没有问题么？这题的考点是什么啊？反正一系列的迷糊··我自己也乱~

A. people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their
这句的歧义是，美国到底是与法国人进行比较，还是和脂肪食品进行比较？法国人消耗的脂肪食品与消耗的美国人一样多？虽然逻辑上这个说法可笑，但是GMAT认可一切语法上说得通的意思，而且要尽量避免这样的歧义。同时Their的指代出现了混乱，是法国，还是美国，还是脂肪食品？

B. people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the
清楚地说明是法国和美国进行比较，the的使用也比their好。the不一定要指之前出现过的某一个对象，也可以后指，the people in red is my good friend. 这里的the并不向前指代。

C. fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States’s, their
错误原因同A。同时使用了被动态，把原句改被动态是大忌之一，除非原句语法明显错误。

D. the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the
D扭曲了原意，A说的在美国的人和在法国的人消费脂肪食品，D说的是法国和美国消耗的脂肪食品。

E. the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the
E扭曲了原意，A是比较Fatty foods的rate，E的比较对象变成了people的rate。
