再来两个大全例子放在一起讨论

386.        In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater respect than most Western countries.

(A) most Western countries

(B) most Western countries do

(C) most Western countries are

(D) they do in most Western countries（E）

(E) they are in most Western countries

they 特定指代 elderly people, in japan 作状语为非限制成分修饰

这儿为什么没有使用 those, 我认为 elderly people 是泛指，并没有限定修饰如 elderly people in Japan, elderly people living in Japan. 即便是特指同一批日本老人也说的过去。

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（A）

(E) more Americans were killed as those who

答案中 as 后省略了主语，显然认可主语相同 Americans,

American 被认为是泛指，( In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, ) 是非限定修饰成分。

再回到这个题

96. (29547-!-item-!-188;#058&004302)

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

在这儿为什么energy 就一定是特指“该energy（现在generate出来的）”？ 在这儿为什么 now 就一定是 限定性修饰成分呢?

对比以上题目，如何判断比较主体的修饰成分是否是限定修饰呢？特别是定语和状语成分？

再问

在这儿为什么energy 就一定是特指“该energy（现在generate出来的）”？ 在这儿为什么 now 就一定是 限定性修饰成分呢?

对比以上题目，如何判断比较主体的修饰成分是否是限定修饰呢？特别是定语和状语成分？

一点拙见，欢迎讨论：29、我的看法是It和they都是严格的“具体某物”的指代：第一、指代的是前面某个名词短 ...

你好！请问47的D为什么不可以呀...

Ron的解析是这样的：（我看不懂）
There's a very subtle difference in meaning, although Stacey is correct that the main issue is that of redundancy/wordiness. But consider the difference between these two sentences, which would illustrate the point:
(1) I get mail from cities as far away as Providence.
(2) I get mail from cities that are as far away as Providence.

If I'm in San Francisco, then sentence #2 means, strangely enough, that I get mail from cities that are all exactly 3,082 miles away (the distance from SF to Providence). Sentence #1 implies no such thing.

Similarly, the wrong answer (D) seems to imply that EACH country is somehow as 'varied' as EACH other country. That's not the intended meaning, which is that the SET of countries is varied.

你好！请问47的D为什么不可以呀...

Ron的解析是这样的：（我看不懂）

我也是在MPREP上没看的很懂就来chasedream上看，我觉得ron举的另外一个例子更好懂一点：
"... is/are as ADJECTIVE as ..." is a construction that equates two things, in terms of the quality described by the adjective. 这种结构实际上是把两个东西等同（严格意义上的等同）起来了
This system is used in cities as large as New York --> this construction doesn't imply that all of the cities are exactly the same size; it's just singling out NY as a particularly large, significant example.
This system is used in cities that are as large as New York --> this would refer only to cities that are actually the same size as NYC.
但是这个问题在这道题里不用太纠结，甚至GMAT本身也不会出这么细的考点，大部分GMAT题根据大考点就能找到正确选项（SV agreement，parallelism等）
针对这道题ron还说了the countries themselves aren't "varied" (i.e., it would be incorrect to say that "the countries are varied"), so it's not correct to use the verb "are".
再结合本贴nn们的内容，as varied as在这里其实是例举的作用，类似于“including”，而不是说countries本身是varied的，所以包括“are”的选项都不正确
----GMAT渣渣的一点看法

47题
as varied as 常常有列举的功能：

High unemployment rates, especially among young workers, have led to protests in countries as varied as Latvia, Chile, Greece, Bulgaria and Iceland and contributed to strikes in Britain and France.

On issues as varied as privacy, copyright protection and the dominance of Google’s Internet search engine, the company is clashing with lawmakers, regulators and consumer advocates
