During the past year, Pro-Tect Insurance Company's total payout on car-theft claims has been larger than the company can afford to sustain.Pro-Tect cannot reduce the number of car-theft policies it carries, so it cannot protect itself against continued large payouts that way.Therefore, Pro-Tect has decided to offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies whose cars have antitheft devices.Many policyholders will respond to the discount by installing such devices, since the amount of the discount will within two years typically more than cover the cost of installation.Thus, because cars with antitheft devices are rarely stolen, Pro-Tect's plan is likely to reduce its annual payouts.

1.CD表达的重点有差异啊
C说在科学家BLABLA之前 SGH要被painstakingly removed 但没说remove这动作的发出者是科学家
而D有remove这动作的发出者是科学家的一层意思
总之主句的核心是SGH

换主语这个没什么 因为before后面没用省略结构 从句主句主语不一样很正常

2.逻辑题……掩面 不会

3.those of 指代fossils啊 前后比较的不就是fossils嘛
C中比较 前者是fossils后者是dinosaurs 不对
而且D是传说gmat青睐的同位语

4.其实是not so much as啦……
