第一题A，比较结构比较的如果不是主谓结构，而且比较对象的主谓一致时，主谓结构可以省略，但保留介词结构，如此题：more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than (babies were born to women) under it. 括号内的内容可以全部省略。

第二题，有过争论，焦点在于限定修饰和非限定修饰，可以查查前面的帖子。但我个人认为C的表达不好，which的指代对象离从句太远；and使句子不完整，因为缺少谓语动词。

第一题偶选B,B对于比较更清楚，more babies were born to women ，后面的to women 可以舍去，it is impossible born to men.

第二题，偶选A,c的用法不对，The act of Congress approved  and established

Q30. Why A has a comma before "established"? won't that create a sentence fragment?

How about E?
