睡着的鞋

Though certain breeds of dog are renowned for their sense of smell, there is often a greater difference in scenting ability between two members of a single breed as there is between members of different breeds.
(A) is often a greater difference in scenting ability between two members of a single breed as there is
(B) is often more difference in scenting ability between two members of a single breed as to find one
(C) is often a greater difference in scenting ability between two members of a single breed than
(D) are often greater differences in scenting ability between two members of a single breed as there are
(E) are often greater differences in scenting ability between two members of a single breed than there is


为什么between后面没有跟着and     而是跟着two members，这样也是对的吗？？

这个题目是选C么？

睡着的鞋

lz正解~  不过就是疑惑为什么between 没有and呢

coocooper

嗯。。我觉得between不一定是要接and的，你主要是读清楚句意， 谁和谁比
如果是between A and B, 无庸置疑是A和B 比了，可是这里考的对比对象是two members of a single breed和between members of different breeds, 这两个族群的ability的difference, between是用在了内部修饰two members of a single breed和members of different breeds的。
也就是说如果一定要用between and结构也是说between one member and the other of a single breed,
between one member and another of different breeds,
这样以来就wordy了
总之between and 不是一定的，而且也不是这个题目的考点。

原来是这样~不能见到between下意识找and，要看到考点究竟是不是在这里
而且逻辑意思大于一切？

十分感谢~
