比较结构就是一种特殊的平行结构。

谢谢你！看了你的回复之后我又找了很多关于比较结构的帖子，看到有个NN这样说：

STEP3：意识到step2这一点之后，就可以运用Ron的方法了。下面是quotation：
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, you're good.
o judge "beauty contests" among answer choices, on the other hand, all you need is the simple ability to say "this looks more like X than that does".

e.g.:
a) Oil prices in 2007 were higher than those in 2008.
ànoun+modifier vs. noun+modifier

b) Oil prices were higher in 2007 than in 2008.
àadv. vs. adv.

c) Oil prices were higher in 2007 than oil prices in 2008.

d) The weather is hot and dry in Nevada, as it is in Arizona.
àsentence vs. sentence

e) As in Arizona, the weather is hot and dry in Nevada.
àadv. vs. adv.

注意：Ron说的no “omissions”，是什么意思，lz觉得很有必要解释一下。用上面的例子来说明，严格意义上讲，b) c) d) e)都算是omission，但是在比较结构中，b) d) e)都正确，而c)错误。

c)中，in 2008作为noun modifiers修饰oil prices，但是the left-hand element没有一个noun modifiers修饰oil prices呀，只有一个verb modifiers修饰oil prices were higher。所以不对嘛。

回过头看b)，好理解了吧，都是verb modifiers，比较the situation in 2007和the situation in 2008.

然而在这一题的D选项里面，the current one不能对应the proposed speed吗？按周这个NN的话来说，第二个as后面的东西只要z在它前面存在不就可以了吗？

as...as是与than相似的比较结构，
step 1 找第二个as右边的被比较元素，D是the current speed limit本身，E ...

打扰啦...step1我看得懂，但是step2，D，E两个选项比较的不都是likelyhood吗？如果说核心的话，两个选项的核心都是可能性啊...然后D中第二个as后面的the current one 第二个as前面也有出现啊

想这个问题已经快疯了

想那么多干啥？

be likely that是一个绝对的语法错误啊！即使D选项里的比较结构貌似是平行的。

我觉得是这样的，D比较的就是“speed limit”，而E的比较因为加了they are ，所以是在比they are (likely to exceed) the current speed limit. 发现区别了吗？D比的是speed limit，E比的是“司机可能超速”这件事。【你可以发散类比一下because of sth that ...和 because直接加句子阐述原因，我们不是也会选because直接加句子的选项吗？因为前者强调的是一个名词，而后者强调的是整个事情。】这里也一样的，我觉得这就是E比D好的原因。不是大牛，望交流斧正。

A + as adj. as + B. 结构
A and B should be parallel.

看见likely就知道靠likely to>likely that。
删除CD
然后前面有了系动词be后面就得补出are

同意！

同意！

高手啊

我觉得这样改D还行：

Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as they (driver) will be likely that they (driver) exceed the current one
grammar 就算对了，也还是太啰嗦了。rhetorically horrible
