less 与 lower	1. lower 是长度概念：比…矮；比…短
	2. less 是数量概念：比…少，GMAT中常用less

Jerry, 见上less 与 lower的用法，lower 是不可以修饰 number 的。

good!

同志们，破折号的用法完全正确，破折号是表示跳跃修饰，表示后面这个比较说的不是破折号前面的the man-eater in the movies，而是更前面的

我是这样理解的，也看到了其它地方这样跳跃修饰的用法

直到今天，半年过去了，我仍然无法彻底理解，为什么B答案不可以直接修movies ：movies -- fewer than the number killed by bee stings

白勇语法：破折号可以引出“作补充说明成分的”的句子或短语，也就是说这里这个结构不是修饰结构，而是一个附加的成份，当然不能修饰前面的movies啦

National Geographic documentaries and movies such as "Jaws"
have fed people's fears of shark attacks for decades...fears
of the Great White Shark.

Such fears, however, are largely unfounded.  According to
Nature Publishing Group, "Only seven people this century have
been killed by the Great White Shark, the man-eater of the
movies -- fewer than the number killed by bee stings."

B非常正确!

大哥找得太准了。真强！应该这就是原句……

不过，7 people fewer than the number?

这个句子放在GMAT中也应该有问题吧……

If one were to cross-reference a similar ratio with the numbers of bombs dropped in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three years, even with a liberal error bar one would come up in each case with a total number of civilian fatalities due to bombing in each country in at most the low hundreds: far fewer than have been killed, for instance, by insurgent suicide bombers in both countries. This does not mean that Allied forces are not accidentally killing larger numbers of civilians in other ways: attack helicopters, artillery, small arms fire at checkpoints, all must be taking a regrettable if unintended toll, as well. But it does suggest that the aerial contribution to the civilian death tolls in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last three years cannot be a major component of, say, the 4,000 total Afghan deaths reported by the UN and Associated Press last year, or the 600,000 excess deaths in Iraq since 2003 recently estimated by researchers in the Lancet.

In two years, a total of 348 people have died in seven countries in attacks that could be loosely linked with al-Qaeda or its many affiliates and emulators -- far fewer than have been killed by bolts of lightning in the same period. Global terrorism is a highly over-rated threat.

Only seven apples are green--more than the red ones.

Only seven apples are green--more than are red.

More than means sth. overnumber sth. else, so we need to focus on apples rather than S+V structure. B illogically make a comparision of 2 sentences with "more than". However, in E, "7 people" correctly shows that people should be treated as pl., therefore "the ones" is proper and logical.
