以下是引用fighting127在2008/12/19 21:53:00的发言：

还是同意选C吧

   In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911
   

同意C的这个解释，这题绝对是C。

A的主语在as前后都不一致了。如果是A的话，As前面那个句子主语是 Halley's comet(哈雷彗星)，as后面那个主语就变成 its return（halley's comet's return） 了

支持A

刚才在一个论坛上看到如下解释，
Lets bring Obama into the picture instead of Hally, the comet for a moment
   

Rephrase
with C - In no other election did Obama cause such a sensation as (he
did) in his presidential race of 2008. (We can omit 'he did' and still
convey the same meaning)
Sensation caused by Obama in all the previous elections is compared with sensation caused by Obama in presidential race.)
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911
   

Rephrase
with A - In no other election did Obama cause such a sensation as did
his presidential race of 2008. ( Incorrect comparison. Sensation caused
by Obama in all the previous elections is compared incorrectly with
sensation caused by presidential election. But we should compare sensations caused by Obama in both the cases.)
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as (did its return in 1910-1911)
   
B - no need to discuss. Had is not necessary. Changes the meaning.

Rephrase
with D - In no other election did Obama cause such a sensation as his
presidential race of 2008 did. (again sensation by Obama is compared
with sensation caused by presidential election. Same problem as A.
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as (its return of 1910-1911 did )

Rephrase
with E - In no other election did Obama cause such a sensation as his
presidential race of 2008. ( Here sentence ends abruptly. Here
sensation caused by Obama is compared with presidential race itself.
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as its return in 1910-1911

Ofcourse we all can come up with explanations once we know OA.
   
Nice One. +1 to the poster.

Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation In no other historical sighting as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911。

In no other election did Obama cause such a sensation as (he did) in his presidential race of 2008.

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion (in this election) than (the proportion) in any previous election.（新PREP2-197 ）

Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies
(for this campaign)than (the supplies) for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.（OG10-198）


大家看看highlight部分有没有什么共同点？上面的例子都是介词结构以及状语的比较，后面比较的部分都要省略前面的主谓结构，状语比较没有歧义，所以主谓没必要重复。即：如果遇到状语比较，直接比较状语部分就可以，添加主谓就是画蛇添足。


下面内容引用经典牛贴：比较之庖丁解牛http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-103101-1-1.html

介宾比较和状语比较

Rice has protein of higher quality than of lower quality(介宾比较，of higher 与 of lower比）

意义：米有高质蛋白质而非低质蛋白质

Rice has protein of higher quality than usual/everbfore/1000 years ago/people expected(状语比较）

意义：米比通常/经往/多年前/人们预测/的蛋白质质量要高。

Sand road costs twice as many to build as to manintain(类似于介宾比较）


介宾比较 A do sth of C1 by D1 than of C2 by D2.（C1C2，D1D2对等名词）

状语比较A do sth than usual/everbefore/people expected(直接加状语）
