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

如果将C选项they have been 改成they had been 是不是就对了？

(B) Correct；原句补完整：Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential  campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than（the proportion）（television costs had accounted for of the spending）in any previous election；这个句子中只是单个名词(proportion)的比较，所以不需要考虑than后面补出主谓，只补出介词短语就够了，不用担心后面的介词短语in any previou election没有平行对象

(C) 现在完成时使用错误，in any previous election说明应用过去完成时；they指代soaring television costs，使逻辑意义错误，比较结构需要比较对象对等，前者为a great proportion 是一个量词不能和具体的费用对比，而且其他的election不一定是soaring的；同时have been与前面的accounted for不平行，只要也要用have done。
