OG 116
November is traditionally the strongest month for sales of light trucks, but sales this past November, even when compared with sales in previous Novembers, accounted for a remarkably large share of total vehicle sales.
A
B but even when it is compared with previous Novembers, this past November's sales
C but even when they are compared with previous Novembers, sales of light trucks this past November
D so that compared with previous Novembers, sales of light trucks this past November
E so that this past November's sales, even compared with previous Novembers'sales,

the official answer is A
可是句子什么意思啊，为什么要用BUT 转折，不应该是说，以前的11月销售的很好，所以上个11月也销售的很好吗？

lululuna

这句话前后的转折是这样的：

前半句：十一月的拖拉机销量一直是（全年）最好的 （全年横向比较-环比）

后半句：但今年十一月的销量，即使和往年的十一月比，占得全年销售的比重是相当大得 （历年纵向比较-同比）

前后比较的范围不同吧。

11月销量一直很好。但是上个11月的销量，即使和以往的好成绩比，也是特别特别的好

举个例子：“黑叔叔traditionally跑得很快。but博尔特，even when compared with其他的跑得很快的黑叔叔，跑得特别快。”

even when提示让步

manhattan 6th写的：COMPARED / COMPARISON
RIGHT: IN COMPARISON WITH (or TO) horses, zebras are vicious.
A zebra can be COMPARED TO a horse in many ways.
COMPARED WITH a horse, however, a zebra is very hard to
tame.
Note: The GMAT ignores the traditional distinction between
COMPARED TO (emphasizing similarities) and
COMPARED WITH (emphasizing differences).
WRONG: WHEN COMPARED TO horses, zebras are vicious.
Zebras are MORE vicious COMPARED TO horses.

我对OA有的when compared with用法是否相对有问题有疑问。

有同样的疑问！在国外的forum上也看到过这个问题，还是得不到解答

另外，看到对这题有以下解释
"sales" should be compared with "sales".

Only A and E do that.

In E we dont have contrast. We need it to highlight that the sales are better this time.

Only A does it.

还是不懂E有啥问题。。。求NN解救

另外，看到对这题有以下解释

The conjunction“ so that ”nonsensically introduces a causal relationship between "November’s typically strong sales" and the aforementioned comparison.
so that一般引导目的状语从句，并没有对比。
