138. In no other historical sighting did Halley’s Comet
cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in
1910–1911.
(A) did its return in 1910–1911
(B) had its 1910–1911 return
(C) in its return of 1910–1911
(D) its return of 1910–1911 did
(E) its return in 1910–1911


答案是C
解释是关于时间的对比，两个in平行
但是我怎么看都觉得，第一理解是说这个年代的影响更大些，为神马不是A 或者D那种动作的对比呢？求解！！
谢谢！

补充一下：因为这题是时间状语比较，In no other historical sighting 和in its return of 1910-1911作比较，than后直接补出状语即可。但比较成分是主语，than前是主谓宾结构，主语谓语都不能省。I eat apple faster than you do。若是主谓结构，只需表主语。I eat faster than you。若是系表结构，除非有时间限制修饰主语，否者也只留主语。The picture is more famous than it was in 1990.

如果将句子补充完整  In no other historical sighting did Halley's Comet cause such a worldwide sensation as it(Halley's Comet) did in its return of 1910-1911.
A  相当于将Halley's Comet 与 its return in 1910-1911 比较， 比较对象不对等
D  同理，将Halley's Comet 与 its return of 1910-1911比较，比较对象不对等
A与D 并没有本质的区别，都是主语比较，只不过一个用了部分倒装did 提前，一个没有用。主语核心词都是its return, 后面的修饰成分用in+时间 或者of+时间，功能相同,都是给核心词补充信息。

答案C，比较成分主语，谓语相同时，可省略主语谓语, 是唯一正确的形式。
