GWD 1-16，我错在哪儿啊？

support B.

可以把这句句子看成：Soaring television costs accounted for a greater proportion of the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992 than ... in any previous election.

省略号这里很明显有两种可能性：

1) they had been:   they指代soaring television costs, had been表示发生在accounted之前

2) 索性不补出。即直接in any previous election。 因为句子里面比较的是这一次election和以前election的情况。

og 198中的解释和具有参考价值！

同意省略掉的代词是they 而不是it

但省略掉的应该是they had accounted for proportions

请大家把more than half 等等去掉,句子变成这样:

Soaring costs accounted for a greater proportion than (they had accounted for proprtions) in any previous election.   

如果用代词指带proportion的话,就犯了地震那道题的错误了

further more 如果更native点的话, they只能用来指人不能用来指物(看以前贴看到,未经考证) 那么这里除了省略掉,似乎没有其他更好的办法了哦?

支持B！

OG198：Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered.

用在本题：If than is followed by a clause referring to costs, the subject of that clause must be plural (they). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had accounted for) because it refers to a time before the simple past of accounted for.

由此可得选项B

也可推出B的than后省略的不是句子，而是一个名词，即the proportion。

其实than+句子的情况也可以看作定从省略了所修饰的名词，如：Although Napoleon's army entered Russia with far more supplies than (supplies) it had had for any previous campaign, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.

所以这道题我认为两种说法都对：

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

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

错：(B) a 毫无疑问是A

it 指proportion，前后时间不同，要补出。

例：大全10

错：rise and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust
than five years ago

对：(C) a rise making the construction
industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago



C：they单复数错。

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.

IT应该指代原物吧，这样说来，A的IT是有问题的，因为以前的proportion和1992年的proportion不是同一个，如果补全B的话，

a greater proportion than the proportion had been in any previous election

错：(B) a 毫无疑问是A

it 指proportion，前后时间不同，要补出。

例：大全10

错：rise and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust
than five years ago

对：(C) a rise making the construction
industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five years ago


C：they单复数错。

不能和大全中的这道比，因为大全中的这道在"five years ago"之前没有介词，很容易产生歧义。而这里有"in"这个介词，所以我觉得省略了主谓不会有歧义。

我也支持选B!!!

华籍美人

应该是B,这题与OG-198/251是类似的，it不能指代复数costs，我觉得如果补全了应该是：

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

我奇怪的就是这样的话时态不同了，时态不同的话可以省略么？不懂啊。

看了这么长的帖子都晕倒了，个人觉得是B，是1992年的比例和以前各年的比例。
