今天做 section 11, 惨不忍睹，sigh
6.    The guiding principles of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department could have even a greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan.
(A) even a greater significance for the economy than
(B) a significance that is even greater for the economy than
(C) even greater significance for the economy than have
(D) even greater significance for the economy than do
(E) a significance even greater for the economy than have

答案是D,
1）请问C为什么不可以呢？ 难道have 不能用于比较的到装？
2）这里的significance 是不是不可数名词，如果D 换成 "significance even greater for the economy than do"可不可以呢？


16.    Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel.
(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel
(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do
(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel
(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel
(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel

这里的pollutants 到底是可数还是不可数啊，晕了

6:    do 可以替换have，但是have自己为啥不行呢？
16：多谢

braveMBA

HAVE有歧义，是表示比较的完成时态还是HAVE的实意动词？

givemeahome

have 除了现在完成时，不用再补出上

givemeahome

less 这里做 noun;

参考OG

(A)    amounts to a sum lower
(B)    amounts to less
(C)    amounted to less
(D)    amounted to lower
(E)    amounted to a lower sum

是不可数

你这样改似乎改变了比较对象，也不对称吧……
