正确答案为B
问题:关于E选项,OG解释中写道:The preposition for is necessary in the comparison of the costs. 看了前面的帖子依旧不明白为什么for是必须的。。写上我的理解,求指正!我的理解:E选项中:The cost of running nuclear plant和other types of power plants平行的原因在于后者省略了the cost of running,即补全后的平行为The cost of running nuclear plant和 (the cost of running )other types of power plants。这么想为什么不对?求指正,谢谢!
你说得对,这里是比较The cost of running nuclear plant和 (the cost of running )other types of power plants。
简化为A of B is the same as C, 尽管意思上没有问题, 但在语法上,C是和主语A比较,还是和介词短语限定的A of B比较,不明确。 如果选项E是about the same as OF other types of power plants,我想你一定不会有疑问。但这个题的可恨之处在与他用了一个意思相近别的介词短语A for B 来代替 A of B.
不知道解释清楚没有?
