这个帖子太好了！比较问题是俺一百多年来的困惑。

综上各NN所述，能不能这样概括：

从本质上说主要看比较的对等和歧义与否；

从考试技巧来说：

1.如果句子后半部分是状语的，要考虑加名词性成分 如that of/ 或直接成句 如it was ...使比较的前后部分对等。

2.前半部分是主系表，后半部分只出名词主语不需要补be动词，除非同物不同时态比较

3.前半部分是主谓宾，A）比较宾可不补谓；B）比较主，尽量补谓；

4.灵活运用看是否歧义

恳请指正

ANSWER C

想问大全404这题和这个170题的区别？404没有what就是错的，170没有what就是对的？

404B错在fast不能修饰rate，C中用一个what it was很好地回避了该用什么adj来修饰rate的问题。

170中再用这个结构会显得结构累赘。

请指教。

关于补不补助动词，语法书上强调的原则是“不补会不会造成歧义”

我感觉这里即使不补，也不会有人以为burning gasoline or diesel fuel的主语是宾语pollutants吧？

一家之言。

看完所有的帖子，觉得其实能掌握mm说的这几条，考试足够用了。

还有前面某NN举得例子中是否应该为than canada do,而非than canada has?
