raised怎么会通？时态造成逻辑不通啊，现在造成损害，怎么会在过去提升价格？ ...

我又迷惑了，先附一段ron讲的
For sentences that don't have such a simple structure, the goal is to avoid introducing unnecessary complexity.Here's what you should do with such sentences:
1.identify the right-hand element (= the one that follows the comparison signal)
2. Ask yourself whether this element SHOULD be part of the comparison, according to context/common sense. (There are no "omissions" here. if the stuff following the signal isn't actually compared to something else, the sentence is wrong.）
3.If so, try to find something that matches it on the other side. If you find such a thing, it’s correct .
Example . People are taller in China than Spain.
1/the right-hand element is "Spain".
2/the sentence is not intended to compare Spain itself with anything. So, this version is wrong. Quit.
People are taller in China than in Spain.
1/the right-hand element is "in Spain".
2/the sentence compares heights of people, sure. However, it's also true that the sentence directly compares the situation in china with the situation in Spain. (It does not, on the other hand, compare the actual countries of China and Spain; hence why the foregoing example is wrong.)So, this works.
3/"in china" is there.This one works.


Gas prices were higher in 2007 than in 1997.
1/right-hand element = "in 1997"
2/this is legitimate (see write-up of previous example, which works in exactly the same way)
3/"in 2007" is there; we're good.
Gas prices were higher in 2007 than those in 1997.
1/right-hand element = "[gas prices] in 1997"(meaning of the pronoun is obvious, I hope) 2/we want to compare prices, so the set-up is ok
3/nothing works on the other side. We need "gas prices in 2007" (in one piece), but only "gas prices" is there.Nope.
Gas prices in 2007 were higher than those in 1997.
This is one of the easy ones: "X were higher than Y".X = gas prices in 2007Y = [gas prices] in 1997      workable

那么根据ron之前这里讲的话，就应该是A里的比较呀，B中的比较应该是错误的呀？

楼主提了个好问题！为了不误人子弟，我是引用曼哈顿论坛的讨论。

RON认为第一题的A选项中的比较结构是正确 ...

同意！

gwb的那一题A选项有的平行错误不在a year ago，关键在于后面are hurting and raised 这里句子结构存在逻辑错误，huring是正在发生，raised已经发生了，用and连接在一起存在逻辑错误，这种句子结构的整体的逻辑错误才是这个选项的致命伤，语法要先看整体再抠细节，整体上有硬伤直接排除就完了
