[求助]老题，但是一直没有确定答案GWD1-16大家看看吧

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.Ａ

 

 

1. a greater proportion than it was

2. a greater proportion than

3. a greater proportion than they have been

4. which is greater than was so

5. which is greater than it has been

这道题大家好像讨论了很久，我经过比较也发现好像只能选B，但是B真的很别扭！than in any……的表达方式真的可以么？我选B的理由是than 后面的代词应该指代the costs 所以为复数，A不对，而C时态不正确，最后两项不是同位语排除。但是B怎么看怎么别扭，大家的意见呢？

I chosed C only because they can modify costs

以下是引用ptr07在2006-12-31 9:12:00的发言：
I chosed C only because they can modify costs

C的时态有问题八?   应该是 proportion 跟 proportion 比.

Thus, B is the best

I choose B.

B好一点儿吧，C的时态和主谓我觉得都有问题

选B，OG11上有一道类似的题目，说明than后面是可以接介词短语的，但是似乎接for更好一些。

102．Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns，it had provisions for only twenty-four days．

(A)  they had in their previous campaigns

(B)  their previous campaigns had had

(C)  they had for any previous campaign

(D)  in their previous campaigns

(E)  for any previous campaign

Agreement + Verb form

The sentence incorrectly uses the plural pronouns they and their to refer back to the singular noun army．The verb tense would need to be the past perfect had had rather than the simple past had because this action occurs before the action in the main clause．In the context of supplies for a campaign，the preposition for is preferable to the preposition in . In cases such as this，where the sentence has multiple errors．it is often helpful to look among the answer choices for an alternate construction．

A  Pronouns referring to the noun army should be it and its，not they and their the verb should be had had．

B  Their does not agree with the singular noun army.

C  They does not agree with the singular noun army；the verb should be had had.

D  The proposition used should be for, not in；their should be its to agree with army．

E  Correct．This simple construction avoids the problems of pronoun agreement and verb tense；it is clear, correct，and concise．

The correct answer is E．
