GWD 1-16，我错在哪儿啊？

总结：B对

Costs accounted for a greater proportion than (costs had accounted) in any previous election.

A错在it无法指代costs，如果一定要说指代proportion的话，发生了一个很明显的比较级不对称的错误。而且在这里，proportion并不是一样东西，无法用一个proportion来指代两个不同时期的东西。

B省略，类似的省略见OG198。

C错在时态，OG198解释中有对该时态（过去完成时）的明确说明。

B

B省的是proportion

但是A要是改成what it was怎么杨？

我感觉我会冲动一下，选上的

Q16:

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

1. a greater proportion than it was
                   
   
2. a greater proportion than
                   
   
3. a greater proportion than they have been
                   
   
4. which is greater than was so
                   
   
5. which is greater than it has been

支持B

这个题的解法应该换一个思路，不仅从比较结构上，更应该从比较逻辑上。

X ，（which is ）a greater proportion than Y

X=the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992

Y=the spending in the presidential any previous campaign 

所以比较对象是两个不同的东西，从而这里it(或they)指代逻辑有问题 ，

那么选项B能够避免这个问题：B的展开是

.......the spending in the 1992's presidential campaign , which is

a graeater proportion than the spending in the any previous  presidential campaign

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was
        in any previous election.

根据 in, 省略的是 costs而不是proportion,
所以b对。

答案是B，完整的句子是：

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than (the proportion accounted by television costs) in any previous election.

A无论如何都是错的，没办法解释那个was的平行问题。

没看中间的讨论

大家看OG VERBAL上的这题能不能说明B正确呢？

35V.The rise in the Commerce Department's index of leading economic indicators suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that the mixed performance of the index's individual components indicates that economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first quarter of this year．

不知可否这样理解：

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, （costs accounted for) a greater proportion than (they were/had been) in any previous election.

看了半天，两个问题，这里到底是省略了proportion or costs？

都说与OG198是一个类型题目，该省，但是OG198省得是主语啊，这里假如解释成省略得是costs，似乎还说的过去，但怎么看都觉得是省略了proportion，所以觉得真奇怪，怎么不是主语也能省？而且时态都不同也能省？看在我看了那么多解释得份上，哪位大侠来个解释吧

从比较对象的一致角度看，than后面的应该是proportion,而不应该是costs，（否则就只能理解为than前后全都省了costs accounted for，这么大范围的省略显然会造成理解上的极大困难，基本可以排除这种可能性）。如果省略的是proportion， 补全的话应该是proportion had been，所以A的时态不对，那么b省略显得简洁，而且理解上没有歧义。所以我认为b是相对最优选项。

if "补全的话应该是proportion had been", "had been" should not be omitted - Only when the verb has exactly the same form, the second comparison clause can omit the verb. I firmly believe that the answer is A.

Q16:

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

1. a greater proportion than it was
2. a greater proportion than
3. a greater proportion than they have been
4. which is greater than was so
5. which is greater than it has been

答案是C，我选B。

我觉得C的问题是：首先，时态上有点牵强，感觉上用过去时应该比较好。另外，they在这里应该指代costs,那than从句的结构应该与前面平行。前面说的是costs accounted for，而than后面是用的be动词，不平行啊。

B选项可以看作是比较从句的省略形式，这种省略在OG198和251里可以找到类似的。

贊成B正確

同意上述C的問題 

題目中costs accounted for...  a greater proportion than... 

若是要平行，，那they便和cost對稱，have been （be動詞）便和accounted for（一般動詞） 對稱

但是，若是要代替先前的動詞，應該用done而不是been，這樣才能對稱
