According to recent studies comparing the nutritional value of meat fromwild animals and meat from domesticated animals, wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat they think is good for cardiac health.
(A) wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more
of a kind of fat they think is
(B) wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a
kind of fat thought to be
(C) wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and
have more fat of a kind thought to be
(D) total fat of wild animals is less than livestock fed on grain and they have
more fat of a kind thought to be
(E) total fat is less in wild animals than that of livestock fed on grain and
more of their fat is of a kind they think is

答案是B
但是B里面会造成错误比较的歧义么？我看上去感觉是用total fat跟Livestock fed on grain做了比较。
“wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be"这个跟"I eat more apples than you" 的结构是一样的呀，应该改成"I eat more apples than you do" 才对。基于以上理由，我做题的时候瞬间排除了B。

补上OG上面的解释：A The pronoun they fails to refer correctly.

B Correct. The phrase thought to be eliminates the most significant error
in the original sentence. Note that while the phrase less total fat than
livestock differs from the phrase less total fat than do livestock in the
original, either would be correct here.

C The resulting sentence is unnecessarily wordy and confusing. The
pronoun that is not only superfluous, but it fails to refer back to anything.

D The resulting sentence makes a nonsensical comparison between total fat
and livestock.

E The resulting sentence is wordy and confusing. It lacks the required
parallelism in wild animals . . . in livestock. The referent of the possessive
pronoun their is ambiguous, as is the referent of the pronoun they.

同问~可能B也不是最佳句子，但是错误相比A项没那么严重。

我觉得C是正确的，虽然有些wordy，但是that指代前面的total fat

我觉得C项的比较对象不平行，变成了wild animal have less total fat这件事和the fat of livestock相比了；C项后面have的使用ungrammatical

感谢回复，那么

"Wild animal have less total fat" 这种结构是不能够跟"the fat of livestock"相比么？能否理解成 the total fat of wild animal 与 the fat of livestock 相比？
