　　D. the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the
　　E. the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

答案选B。

我的疑问是为什么不在B选项的“the United States”前加入“in”
语法笔记中的选项分析说D、E选项就需要在“the United States”前加入“in”

P.S. 为什么说C的被动awkward？

求大神讲解，谢谢。

although不用平行的

我也是阿迪来啦

亲 问下你 although从句里面的主语应该跟主句的主语平行才对呀，但是B选项却不平行 怎么解释呢？

DE里面会被读者理解成这个rate是法国和美国共有的~~而不是分别是法国和美国的~~B就没有这个问题。
C首先是被动语态就不如主动好，其次at a comparable rate to不如at the same rate简洁~
