(D) to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years ago

(E) in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it as five years ago

Key: C

这道题C中的was是哪冒出来的，不是说比较中系动词与系动词平行，助动词与助动词平行吗？



类似例句：The animosity between those who regulate and those who are regulated has never been more pronouncedthan in recent debates over environmentalism and pollution control.

这个例句中never与in recent debates相对应。

这个句子怎么看出来比较的是pronounced还是never呢，换句话说，怎么确定到底比较的是主谓部分还是状语部分呢？

317.    Freedman’s survey showed that people living in small towns and rural areas consider themselves no happier than do people living in big cities.

(B) not any happier than do people living
(C) not any happier than do people who live
(D) no happier than are people who are living
(E) not as happy as are people who live


既然你问道了大全10，就再引用大全一个类似题。

你如果有兴趣，可以搜索一下大全里面like xxx作为正确答案的句子，因为like sth, sth这种也是比较结构，更直接的比较了noun，可能会有所体会？

貌似MM说的和我说不是一问题呵，虽然都是比较，焦点不太一样，Like比较是名词的比较，而我贴的三个句子从四个方面回答，引用一下前人的总结如下：
对主谓宾全的句型
主语比较：  A do sth than B do.（AB为对等名词，加do是为了显示这是一个可以发出动作的名词，因而确定是主语，进而确定是主语对比）
介宾比较：  A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.（C1C2，D1D2对等名词）
宾语比较：  A do C1 than C2.(C1C2为对等名词）
状语比较：  A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语）
ETS就这几下子，原则就是清楚地指示什么跟什么比。

根据这个原则，能说出三个句子分别是比较的什么吗？

因为你问的是怎么确定比较主语谓语还是状语

主语是由noun（包括gerund, noun phrase等等）承担的，所以like的那种比较个人愚见比较能领会GMAC对于noun比较的要求...因为like好搜，than, compare to, compare with, contrast with搜起来麻烦一些啦，我太懒了~~~~

我贴的那个题是do的比较，感觉上有点类似于你贴的大全10,

不过大全10我做对了，我贴的这个我糊里糊涂的浪费了些时间再A和E上，总觉得应该是people are happy，既然是happy,应该是系表。
