OG758：Prices at the producer level are 1.3 percent higher now than those of a year ago. 这句话OG说是对的，而than a year ago就是错的，因为将price和时间作比较。
但是到了OG775：Total fat is less in wild animals than that of livestock。 这句又是错的，OG说应该是in wild animals 和in livestock平行。所以这句到底是错在that多余了，还是错在介词in/of呢？这里没有提到that的指代性问题。
我是不是可以理解为：
当比较的部分是介词时（in xxx year / of xxx），前面的noun可以省略；而普通状语(a year ago)就不可以呢？
OG758：Prices at the producer level are 1.3 percent higher now than those of a year ago. ...
我觉得主要还是比较的两者是否是同样的东西：
OG758: 两个比较对象应当是prices at producer level和those （指代prices）。如果去掉those of，句子变成Prices at the producer level are 1.3 percent higher now than a year ago. 比较对象变成了prices和a year ago。因此不对
OG775：比较对象应该是total fat in wild animals和total fat in livestock。我个人倾向应该是Total fat is less in wild animals than that in livestock，并不确定是否符合OG答案。这个题应该和OG758一个考点，都是比较的平行结构，指代问题没有什么歧义。
When I said 85%, it was only a crude and conservative approximation (personally I would say almost 100%)....The rest 15% or less you really need to determine case by case...
