189. (GWD3-Q30) (旧Prep2-131) Today’s technologyallows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at anytime in their production history. A. small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any timein their B. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than theywere at any time in their C. small cars that are more fuel-efficient than thoseat any other time in D. more fuel-efficientsmall cars than those at any other time in their (C) E. more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any timein (A) 比较的是时间状语,比较对象变成now和atany time,现代科技能使小车”在现在比在过去”省油,语义存在逻辑错误
197. (GWD-1-Q16) Soaring televisioncosts accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election. A. a greater proportion than it was B. a greater proportion than C. a greater proportion than they have been D. which is greaterthan was so (B) E. which is greaterthan it has been (A) Correct;原句补完整:Soaring televisioncosts accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of1992, a greater proportion than(the proportion)(television costs hadaccounted for of the spending)in any previouselection;这个句子中只是单个名词(proportion)的比较,所以不需要考虑than后面补出主谓,只补出介词短语就够了,不用担心后面的介词短语in any previouelection没有平行对象
以上两题摘自prep08语法笔记,解释部分看起来好像有点矛盾啊。
189题也只是单个名词(cars)的比较,为什么不可以省略主谓呢?
