是the more...., the more...的结构。句子主要表达意思是越靠近城市，空气会变得越来越酸。the more后面是加完整的句子，所以D选项句子意思有问题，翻译出来是城市空气变的越酸，则空气越靠近城市。B选项没逗号句子表达是错误的。。C选项改变题目原意。只是说靠近城市的空气将会变得酸。没有体现出比较的结构。Enote后面缺少了that可以直接排除。。。

之前在某个帖子上看过这题的讨论
某个童鞋找到了这句话的原话：

这样的话，答案貌似就应该是B了。。。。

又记得OG阅读女性政治那篇文章离有这么一句话：the diffrence narrowing the longer women had the vote。当时觉得这句话结构特殊就特别记了一下。

如很多人说的，原文也不一定对，如果按照B来说，两套主谓之间是没有连接词的

这两句不能类比
原因：
1 有些阅读里面的句子在sc里面可以认为是错误的
2 这句虽然不明白是什么 结构，但是可以看出women had the vote是作为定语修饰 “the longer”，而这道题目里面两套主谓的连接是很奇怪的

毛古警长

可是A选项里面the more 和 increasingly不重复么
