以下是答案上给出的解释:
(A) compared to的比较对象不对象,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数, 而后者a ratio of是比率。
(B) a ratio that compares的compare不能用主动方式表达,应该是被比较sth be compared to…的省 略形式(省略了主语和系动词,是惯用法);compare to的比较对象不对象,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是比率。
(C) 正确,as compared to比较结构,419 times the pay与42 times their pay比较,the ratio…是同位 语。
(D) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's who…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语,who引导定语从句 修饰名词CEO's。
(E) 缺少that引导宾语从句;indicates CEO's earning…句子结构不完整,缺少谓语;compare to的 比较对象不对象,前者419 times the pay of blue-collar workers表达的是工资数,而后者42 times是 比率。
