43.  Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain
but only four million in population, where many are
members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually
inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A)  about the same as Great Britain but only four
million in population, where many
(B)  of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in
Laos there is a population of only four million,
and many
(C)  that is about the same size as Great Britain’s
land area, but in Laos with a population of only
four million people, many of them
(D)  comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only
four million in population, and many
(E)  comparable to that of Great Britain but a
population of only four million people, many of
whom

最后挣扎选E

我想问下为什么C项的many of them就是指代不清，而E项的many of whom就可以清楚指代people，呢？前面只有一个复数名词啊。

如果用many of them 会不会句子里面就出现两个主句， many of whom...是一个定语从句来继续补充有关the land area of Laos 的信息~

俺不是很确定那~语法菜鸟

顶LS， 我也觉得是这个原因。。 many of them 是一个新的主语了 两个完整句子之间应该有连词连接

C的问题我觉得不是指代不清，重要的land area is the same size as GB 搭配不当， the size of land area is the same size of GB或者是land area has the same size as GB再或者land area is of the same size of GB看上去更合理

有没有人觉得那个population和people是语义重复的？为什么会有 a population of 4 million people这种表达？就像我说 中国的人口是13亿人……不知道我这样比喻对不对……

一直搞不清代词指代的问题，还想问下，你的意思是“代词不能指代介词短语里面的复数名词吗”？
