这是OG原题：

30. What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.

(A)  What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc

(B)   The thing that was as remarkable as developing the compact disc

(C)  No less remarkable than the development of the compact disc

(D)  Developing the compact disc has been none the less
                remarkable than

(E)   Development of the compact disc has been no less
                remarkable as

Besides being wordy, the clauses beginning What was in A and The thing that was in B cause inconsistencies in verb tense: the use of the new technology cannot logically be described by both the present perfect has been and the past was. In B and D, developing the compact disc is not parallel to the use of new technology to revitalize ... performances; in C, the best answer, the noun development is parallel to use. The phrases none the less ... than in D and no less... as in E are unidiomatic; the correct form of expression, no less ... than, appears in C, the best choice.

谢谢您的回贴，我知道是OG原题，解释是比较明白，就是觉得正确答案的句子结构比较奇怪。

No less remarkable than the development of the compact disc
                has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era。

句子好象没有主语，动词是has been吗，如果是为什么不用IS而用这个时态。真心谢谢

主语是the use of the new technology, no less remarkable-adj phrase 前置倒装结构

the use of the new technology与the development of the compact disc比

后面的修饰成分in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era我还没想明白
