题目:og17 679. in 1979 lack of rain reduced india's rice production to about 41 million tons, nearly 25 percent less than those of the 1978 harvast.
a less than those of the 1978 harvest
b less than the 1978 harvast
c less than 1978
d fewer than 1978
e fewer than that of india‘s 1978 production
正确答案:b
我知道比较的是production,所以这边不需要 less than that of the 1978 harvast对吗
那如果是比较两个国家的产量是不是就应该用 less than that of the 1978 harvast in uk?
不知道我的理解对不对,求牛牛解释~~先谢谢啦~~
Firstly, it helps if you think of 41 million tons of rice as the collective equivalent of the 1979 harvest. And in A-less than those of the 1978 harvest, those refers to the tons of 1978 harvest, equals to "the tons of 1978 harvest of the 1978 harvest", which is redundant. The key point of this question is to understand what 'those'' refers to.
