D选项the rules that govern lical political contributions are less stringent than national contributions.不构成句子啊

D 中的比较对象错误the rules 。。。are less stringent than national contributions

may1129

it's not about 顺序,
D)Because local elections typically involve smaller amounts ...than national elections, the rules that ...

according to D, 'smaller amounts' is compared with 'national elections'. it's confusing, if not totally incorrect.


(E) The rules that govern political contributions are less stringent in local elections than they are in national elections because local elections typically involve smaller amounts of money and present less opportunity for abuse.

E avoids the ambiguity of D, therefore, the best

楼上的两位MM提出的这个看法，我也有过类似的想法，但是觉得D再这里比较能讲的通

      local elections typically involve smaller amounts of money and present less opportunity for abuse than national elections
      可以认为 national elections后面省略了do，为什么不补出do呢？？因为前面是involve和present两个动词，补出来引起歧义，因此省略

     关于这个用法，有类似的例证，就是牛锻炼比吃药好的那题

dreadpower

找到例证了（欣慰）
A study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture showed that if calves exercise and associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do those raised in confinement.
(A) associated with other calves, they will require less medication and gain weight quicker than do
(B) associated with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight quicker than
(C) associate with other calves, they required less medication and will gain weight quicker than do
(D) associate with other calves, they have required less medication and will gain weight more quickly than do
(E) associate with other calves, they require less medication and gain weight more quickly than
  答案是E，than后面的不补出do，但是比较也是对等的

   请牛人来分析一下，楼主贴的补充36题D选项是不是比较对等呢？

谢谢楼上的各位，我有些明白了，问题在于两方面：一是比较双方的可比性，二是补全比较的谓语动词，至于本题中的D是不是犯了两个毛病，还是只犯了第一个，我还在思索中。谢过大家：）
