yaoxiayi

Although people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their death rates from heart disease are far lower in France.

A.    people in France consume fatty foods at a rate comparable to the United States, their
B.    people in France and the United States consume fatty foods at about the same rate, the
C.    fatty foods are consumed by people in France at a comparable rate to the United States’s, their
D.    the rate of fatty foods consumed in France and the United States is about the same, the
E.    the rate of people consuming fatty foods is about the same in France and the United States, the

答案选B，我觉得D也可以~

ruimiss

D我觉得改变了句子重心。
原句的重心是说在法国和在美国消费fatty foods的人，重点是人，主语是人。people consume fatty foods at about the same rate
而D，把people去掉，用了被动，相当于改变了主语，因而改变了原句强调的重点。

多读两遍两个选项，可以感觉出意思和强调重点的不同。

yaoxiayi

恩，也只能这么理解了~~

楼上基本正解

ruimiss

people consumed in (A and F),这两个国家是一起的，in一起修饰，不存在不对称啊。
B里面也是这样and连接两个国家，后面那个也没有加in啊。
