OG语法里的一题比较题求助各位大神

nomejj

Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

(A) they had in their previous campaigns
(B) their previous campaigns had had
(C) they had for any previous campaign
(D) in their previous campaigns
(E) for any previous campaign

这道题我开始觉得的正确答案是 it had had for any previous campaign，比较的是army 在不同时期具有的supplies，N’army entered Russia with far more supplies than army had had supplies for any previous campaigns. 既然是时间轴上的比较，时态发生了变化，为什么后面的主谓可以省略呢？求助各位大神??

之前有大神说

这是一个往后省略的例子。

Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies (for this campaign) than for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

不是NN，但是这道题我是用单复数看的，后面用it指代，所以ABCD都错了吧

我后面是这样思考的，中心词是supplies嘛，可以理解成supplies with N's army entered Russia和supplies for any previous campaign比较，

我开始觉得五个选项都错了，自以为答案应该是it had had for
any previous campaigns.

If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered. Finally, the preposition/or is more precise than in because supplies are gathered/or an upcoming campaign. Choices A and C incorrectly use the plural they and the simple past had. Moreover, A uses the less precise in. Choices D and E wisely dispense with the full clause and use a simple prepositional phrase. D, however, uses the imprecise in and the plural their. Only E, the best choice, avoids all the errors mentioned above.

排除法，前后都是单数：前有army后有it所以ABCD都不对
省略的是the supplies
...the army entered... with more supplies than (the supplies) for any previous campaign
