请教让我胃里翻江倒海的prep-114

A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.

(A) more than when retiring
(B) more than if they were to retire
(C) more so than those who retired
(D) which was more so than those retiring
(E) which was more than if they had retired

看前辈们的帖子讨论,说so指代reported high marital satisfaction,
我想问 reported是前一句从句的谓语吧?,如果so从这里开始指代,那就是more后面跟了谓语??
实在不解~望指教

report是从句的谓语，这里用so指代一个动作，so是有指代一个动作或一个短语的功能的，而it则不能。。。。。。而关于为什么those who retired后面不需要不出动词，有人认为是因为satisfaction是抽象名词，所以不能跟women 比较，不会构成歧义。。我不是很赞这个观点，我觉得，正是因为有了so才不需要补出动词的，因为比较的对象是一整个动作，不是一个名词所以才不会产生歧义，后面的those who retired显然只能是比较对象的主语，不会产生歧义。。。。

啊~我明白了~比较的是动作~而动作只有一个~所以不补出也是没有歧义的~
谢谢MM~~
