GWD 1-16，我错在哪儿啊？

previous暗示的是1992年前的事，所以C的时态错，至少应该是过去完成时。

than后面的从句补全了应该是：than the costs acccounted for in any previous election, 因此，如果要用代词和助动词，也应该是：than they did in any previous election. 这样，其它几个答案都有总题。而B，实际上可以看作是比较从句省略了主谓语，因为这里主谓语都与主句相同。这种例子在OG中有，如：

greater proportion 怎么可以用来跟cost做比较?

个人觉得,取舍之间, 1. 比较的对象不能改 the greater proportion that the proportion in any previous election, 因为是同类但是不同东西, 所以应该选than it 的答案; 只有A and E 可以选;考虑时态, E的线在完成式显然不合逻辑,所以我认为答案是A

我认为最没道理的就是答案C，从时态、指代上分析应该是B

各位大侠,我还是想请教B选项的问题

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.

A.       a greater proportion than it was

B.       a greater proportion than

C.      a greater proportion than they have been

D.      which is greater than was so

E.       which is greater than it has been

如果B选项中than后面不补出it (proportion in any previous year) 不是就表示1992的proportion与之前的proportion都是同一个数据吗? 说实在, 我不觉得A的时态有任何问题, 当然能够强调出had been 是最好, 但是我觉得比较上的对称要优于强调时间的先后,况且,同用过去式虽然模裬两可,但是不能说一定错, 对吗?

Rhod, 你的意见如何阿?

昏，不过A中的it 实在有问题，记得OG中讲地震的那题吧，一个地震不可能在东部发生又跑到西部去发生，同理这个 ratio 也不能跨几个年度。不知这样讲对不对？ 我觉得只剩下B 好像合理一点。NN们快来指点吾辈呀。

那我就想问了,b里省略了不管是proportion,还是costs,不同年代的proportion,还是costs可以被当作同样的东西被省略吗?

A虽然犯了你说的考量,但是比起B来,补出了it是不是比较严谨一些?

欢迎讨论``

做题时我也选了A, 后来看讨论发现B 更有道理。A 中  a greater propotion than it was in any previous elections 中的"was" 没有前面的动词作比较。因为前面只有一个动词是"accounted for", 不可能用was 来代替

vaporization200

不了解你说的动词比较…..你的意思是说than后面省略了costs?

那就更怪了,既然如此,那题目不必补出the greater proportion阿…

如果是省略了costs

原句我的写法

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

在这,我想讨论一下为什幺要把costs在1992后面再写一遍的原因

因为主语soaring television costs 距离想要表达的 greater than太远,为了避免语意不清,补出主语是在og里常见的做法.但是这题补出的是a greater proportion,这个

a greater proportion 是指代 (Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992)

所以我不认为than后面省略的是costs!!

A: 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.

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

我把a与b带入原句,如果我错了,希望各位能反驳我
