我一看到that of 就选C了,好象做过很多题都要加这个......fat和fat比,而且C的后半句也很好啊,我觉得比B好
wild animals have less total fat than livestock fed on grain and more of a kind of fat thought to be
wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain and have more fat of a kind thought to be

倾向于C,因为B的结构不清楚,会有歧义,而C中的have ...and have比较清楚.

不过找到个大牛的分析,说这个题不会出现在考试中------很高兴,不用讨论了.

以下引自800Bob的帖子http://www.urch.com/forums/gmat-sentence-correction/47379-wild-animals-pls-provide-explanations-3.html
"That" is not only unnecessary, but wrong.

When a comparison includes "than that of" the word "that" refers to a specific noun. For example, in the following sentence:

The population of California is greater than that of New York.

..."that" stands in for "the population." The sentence can also be written:

The population of California is greater than the population of New York.

In choice C of the item under discussion:

wild animals have less total fat than that of livestock fed on grain

...what does "that" stand in for?

The problem with this item is that there is no good answer choice. What is the source? I'm sure it's not a real GMAT question.

The sentence should be something like this:

According to recent studies comparing the nutritional value of meat from wild animals and that of meat from domesticated animals, wild animals have less total fat than do livestock fed on grain and more fat of a kind thought to be good for cardiac health.

A:they无指代,比较的平行选B

N.Y Times 原句:
Wild animals not only have less total fat than livestock fed on grain,
but more of their fat is of a kind (omega-3) thought to be good for
cardiac health, and less of a kind (omega-6) that promotes heart
disease, said the studies, published in the March issue of The European
Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

B还有另外一个歧义是与原句想悖的：

fed on grain and more of a kind of fat ,grain 和more of a kind平行，逻辑意思也能理解为----以谷物和脂肪为食的牲口

原句没有使用这个bug，而是用了“, but more of their fat is of a kind...”
