谁能告诉我A里面： far less carbon dioxide gas and far fewer of the other gasses
这个OF是个什么玩意。 ...

fewer of the other gases表示其他气体排放种类的少 gas本身不可数不能用fewer

这题as well as 不一定要严格平行；B having。。。事件发生顺序有误 所以必错
还有就是less gas & fewer gasses要注意啦！

A. 正确，二氧化碳气体是不可数名词，因此对应使用far less carbon dioxide gas，表示二氧化碳排放“量”的少;the other gases本身使用了复数形式gases，表示其他气体的种类，因此对应使用修饰可数名词的fewer，fewer of the other gases表示其他气体排放“种类”的少。
　　B. as well as emit习语使用错误，应为emitting;having implicated为错误的结构，应改写为that have implicated
　　C. fewer不能同时修饰carbon dioxide and other gases
　　D. less不能同时修饰carbon dioxide and other gases
　　E. fewer不能同时修饰carbon dioxide and other gases;having implicated为错误的结构，应改写 为 that have implicated

　　句子结构：Diesel engines burn… as well as emitting… 本句逗号前为主结构。

本句使用了这样一种基本句型：A did one thing, as well as doing another thing. 这种句型属于 as well" as 的一种使用方法，朗文给出的例句为：The organization gives help and support to people in need, as well as raising money for local charities.

习惯用语(Idiom), 有效用词(Diction)、逻辑表达(Logical Predication)"as well as doing something 位于逗号后，对主句的谓语动作做出补充，为正确的习语结构few 修饰可数名词，little 修饰不可数名词，当可数与不可数名词并列出现时，必须分别修饰，无 法共用同一个形容词。 完成时态的现在分词结构，如 having implicated，是错误的用法。遇到这种结构后置修饰前面的 名词时，应该改成对应的定语从句形式：that have/has implicated

In C and E, fewer carbon dioxide is incorrect. Fewer is used to refer to something countable; carbon dioxide is not countable. (Please note that fewer other gases also is incorrect; the correct wording is fewer OF the other gases.) Eliminate C and E.

In D, less...other gases is incorrect. To discuss the NUMBER of the other gases, the correct wording is FEWER of the other gases. To discuss the AMOUNT of the other gases, the correct wording is LESS OF the other gases. Eliminate D.

In B, having been implicated is used -- incorrectly -- to modify gases. Having + past participle is used to indicate an action that:

-- is completed before the primary action attributed to the modified noun
-- provides context for the primary action attributed to the modified noun

For example:

Having enjoyed the book, John cannot wait to see the movie.

In the sentence above:
Having enjoyed refers to John.
Cannot wait is the primary action attributed to the modified noun John.
Having enjoyed was completed in the past; John cannot wait in the present.
Having enjoyed the book explains why John cannot wait.

In B, the other gases (the modified noun) are not performing a primary action. Hence the use of having + past participle is inappropriate. Eliminate B.

The correct answer is A.

In A:

As well as + VERBing = preposition + gerund = adverbial modifier.

To elaborate:
-- as well as is a preposition.
-- emitting is a gerund -- a verb functioning as a noun. Emitting is the object of the preposition as well as.
-- The entire phrase -- as well as emitting far less carbon dioxide gas -- is an adverb modifying the previous clause.

The following are analagous constructions:

In addition to emitting less gas...
Besides emitting less gas...
As well as emitting less gas...
