今天做题对比较的主语有新的发现，不知道对不对，请指正：
    

prep-29. There are hopeful signs that we are shifting away from our heavy reliance on fossil fuels: more than ten times as much energy is generated through wind power now than it was in 1990

A) generated through wind power now than it was

B) generated through wind power now as it was

C) generated through wind power now as was the case

D) now generated through wind power as it was

E) now generated through wind power than was the case

 

现在的energy和1990的evergy不一样，所以不能用 it 指代，用as was the case。

 

og-199：

199. Because the Earth's crust is more solid there and thus better able to transmit shock waves, an earthquake of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West.

(A) of a given magnitude typically devastates an area 100 times greater in the eastern United States than it does in the West

(B) of a given magnitude will typically devastate 100 times the area if it occurs in the eastern United States instead of the West

(C) will typically devastate 100 times the area in the eastern United States than one of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(D) in the eastern United States will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will a quake of comparable magnitude occurring in the West

(E) that occurs in the eastern United States will typically devastate 100 times more area than if it occurred with comparable magnitude in the West

At issue is the accurate expression of a complex comparison. Choice D, the best answer, presents the proper form of comparison, will typically devastate an area 100 times greater than will; thus, choice D logically indicates that earthquakes in the eastern United States are 100 times more devastating than are western earthquakes. Choices A, B, and E use it incorrectly to suggest that the same quake strikes both the eastern and the western United States. In choice C, 700 times the area... than is unidiomatic.

东部的地震和西部的地震不一样，所以也不能用 it 指代。

大全393：

In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.

(A) Americans were killed as
                    

(B) Americans were killed than

(C) Americans were killed than those who

(D) more Americans were killed as there

(E) more Americans were killed as those who

在不同时期战争死亡的美国人是一样的，所以Americans可以省略

好混乱~~是不是在不同时间或地点的主语比较时，物视为不同的，而人视为相同的，请nn指教！！
