求问关于RON对比较的解释，以及RON网课的一道题有矛盾

tracy巨巨

emmm废话不多说，就是RON在论坛发帖子讲比较的时候举了这样一个例子：https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/forums/ron-s-advice-on-comparison-and-omission-t31036.html

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.



但是，在他的网课里，有这样一道题，

6.In the UnitedStates, while the number of foreign-born residents and their children is higherthan ever, the percentage of the population they represent is not; in 1910 thisgroup made up 35 percent of the population when compared to 20 percent in2000.

A.population whencompared to 20 percent in 2000

B.population ascompared to 2000, when it was 20 percent

C.population,comparing it with 20 percent in 2000

D.population,unlike 2000, with 20 percent

E.population, compared with20 percent in 2000  正确答案：E


也就是In 1910 this group made up 35 percent of the population, compared with 20 percent in 2000 这句话又是对的
RON的解释是：比较对象是20 percent和35 percent，所以没问题
但是我在自己做题的时候，用RON的方法，先看marker右边，是20 percent in 2000，所以我认为比较对象是“2000年的20%”和“1910年的35%”。再找到左边，in 1910和35 percent被割裂了，作比较的只有35 percent，所以按照RON帖子里举的例子，这应该是错的呀？？？


求大神解释一哈。谢谢谢谢！！！

顶楼主！               

脆脆加油

比较对象就只是百分比吧，in+年份当作修饰？ 而且compare 的比较可以就远

其实 right hand element是应用在 as、than引导的比较状语从句中。而这里，并不是as 或者 than 引导的。直接用了分词compared做比较状语，对主句中主语发生谓语动作的状态、程度等信息进行补充。在这里比较特殊的还有他的逻辑主语不是主句的主语。
