不明白为什么c 选项中their 没有歧义？

为什么答案里是C?我选的是B.答案有错？

b 中 a ration that compares to 42 times  应该是a ration that compares to a ration 42 times?

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


首先，红色字表示此句的主干，可见that引导的是宾语从句，在GMAT语法中，that引宾从不可省，所以排除D,E。并且仔细看DE会发现这两个宾语从句里没有完整的主谓语。

其次，这里的CEO's 应该是CEO复数形式
           GMAT语法中compare、base等词只用被动形式，(as) compare to/with 的比较对象要是同类的。
分别分析选项：
A，CEO’s now earn
        419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.
compared to前面是419times，后面是a ratio,形式不同
B，CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
compares 不对
另外，感觉这里的a ratio 貌似是要做同位语？做419 times同位语，这样的话二者一个是倍数一个是比率，错
（这点我不知道这样分析对不对，请大家帮帮忙啊。。）
C，CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
前面是419 times the pay ，后面是42 times their pay （其中their指代前面的blue-collar workers）
但是这里有个疑问，按照上面关于B的推理这里的ratio不就也不就也不对了么？应该怎么理解这个ratio？

这个帖子好，顶一下；

看来还是要以prep答案为主

劝大家好好做做PREP，和之前的OG的思路完全不同，如果不能及时纠正，那么考试很可能会吃亏。

以下是引用oliviachen在2004-7-25 1:32:00的发言：

还是不太明白，a肯定不对，可是我还是不明白a ratio that compares to 42 times的结构，a ratio是ets的惯用招数，指代前文的内容，可我觉得意应该是a ratio compared to 42 times啊？

指教!

谢谢！

我同意这个说法阿。compare 很少用做主动的。从逻辑上讲，a ratio 怎么可能自己同42 times比？

b是ETS里的Correctiveness的错误哈，我觉得，是必错的情况之一。

比较有信心，请指教。。
