A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

(A) that CEO's now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

我觉得A B的错误就是 错在 XX times+sth.  少了 sth.  少了后面的比较对象
老帖子有说A B 比较对象不对等 （前面是 pay 后面是 ratio）   可CEO挣的是白领的419倍  不就是一个比率吗

我觉得AB 确实是比较不对等，compare的一方是（蓝领工人419倍的）工资数，而不是你所认为的“CEO挣的是白领的419倍”这句话。按照你的理解，compare的两方就是句子和名词了，是不是违反了比较对象的平行？

这个题很tricky。

想请教一下 419 times more pay 和419 times the pay 中 times的词性是什么啊？

请NN指教！！！

同楼上问~
有帖子说 CEO's now earn 419 times the pay 里 earn是谓语，个人觉得times才是谓语，CEO's now earn 整个是主语
