Prices at the producer level are only 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raised corn and soybean prices.
(A) than a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raised
(B) than those of a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South are hurting crops and therefore raising
(C) than a year ago and are going down, despite floods in the Midwest and drought in the South, and are hurting crops and therefore raising
(D) as those of a year ago and are going down, even though floods in the Midwest and drought in the South hurt crops and therefore raise
(E) as they were a year ago and are going down, despite floods in the Midwest and drought in the South, and are hurting crops and therefore raising


og解释比较对象为“between such prices now and those of a year ago”
为什么此处必须是price的比较不能单纯比较时间now和a year ago呢？
困扰了好久
恳请各位发表下自己的看法

我觉得这里完全是可以比的 而且OG也有类似的句子， OG 104题：

Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than last because refiners are paying about $5 a barrel more for crude oil than they were last year.

A项主要还是错在时态，我觉得比较没问题，也没歧义

因为题目中说1.3 percent higher,所以比较的是price，不是时间

楼上的题目意思是，预计价格今年比去年高，所以比较的是时间

不同意 1.3 percent higher 指的也是 价格 今年 比 去年 高，而不是价格自己比自己高1.3%. 两个句子结构完全相同：
90： Price (modifier) are 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago.
104: Price are (expected to be) higher this year than last year.

1.3 percent higher是指今年的价格比去年的价格高，是今年的价格和去年的价格在比，是两个不同的价格在比

楼主，请你把OG原文原原本本复制下来，我认为你并没有看清楚OG的解释。这样楼上的争论就毫无意义。

OG解释：The sentence as written makes an illogical comparison between prices at the producer level and a time period (a year ago); surely the intended comparison is between such prices now and those of a year ago.
不是说这个比较是不对的吗？是我没理解对吗？
还请NN帮解释下
