[讨论]OG11-100

woodstone6

Bihar is India's poorest state, with an annual per capita income of $111, lower than in the most impoverished countries of the world.

(A) lower than in

(B) lower than that of

(C) and lower than that of

(D) which is lower than in

(E) which is lower than is is in

OG上给的答案是B。

我总觉得后半句话“，lower than that of the most impoverished countries of the world.”结构不完整。这部分在整个句子中做什么成分？？

lower than that of the most impoverished countries of the world是用来进一步修饰 the annual per capita income of $111.我语法名词不太熟，不好意思。

形容词的比较级短语做后置定语吧

OG解释也不清不楚，哎

chenhei

它说E唠叨的，总比B结构不完整好吧？

OG答案没说E是错的

但我觉的E有问题

用it is做形式主语用来和income of $111形成对称的比较关系虽然是正确的选择

但是it is后面没有没有真正的主语，也就是说it is原本应该只是用来改变than后面原先应该有的句子的重心，才使用的这样的形式主语，但是it is不能代替真正的主语，it is the most impoverished countries of the world没有真正的主语。而应该用that of + 分词+名词短语 代替 it is

所以E有问题

所以根据前面的看法我首先排除了ADE

B和C之间C明显不对，and+句子没有主语，，然后选的B

但是对于B这样的结构，不知道语法上该怎么解释修饰的关系，难道真如上面MM所说是形容词短语后至做定语，但定语修饰关系一定是就近原则吗？为什么可以省去which呢？

大家的看法呢？

关于B我觉得只能说是相对不错的选项，应该是形容词短语之后作定语（有人说是同位语），修饰紧前名词，只是觉得其中的that似乎应该用those，因为后面是多个国家的income。

但关于E（应为：which is lower than it is in)我觉得其中的it应该是指代annual per capita income,但既然是不同地区的income,而不是同一个income，那么就不能用it，而应该用that（参见下例），而且由于是多个国家的income，我觉得应该用those。对此选项og居然说make the correct comparison，but the construction is needlessly wordy.

无语阿......

199.    Because the Earth’s crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.

(A) of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West

(B) of a given magnitude will typically devastate 100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern United States instead of the West

(C) will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern United States than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(D) in the eastern United States will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West（D）

(E) that occurs in the eastern United States will typically devastate 100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West

At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 100
    times the area... than is unidiomatic.

这个解释收获颇丰

请问如果是b，那为什么a选项不可以? og说,不能省略that.但是,在gwd1第16题,

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater propotion than in any previous election.这里的正确答案的形式不是跟og 100的a选项一样么?

此外，为什么d、e不行？用从句不是更加清楚么？如果不用从句，lower than的短语不就是修饰主语了么？

问题比较多，多谢解答!
