求助! prep 245:
245. (GWD-18-Q11)
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as did its return in 1910–1911.
A.    did its return in 1910–1911
B.    had its 1910–1911 return
C.    in its return of 1910–1911            
D.    its return of 1910–1911 did
E.    its return in 1910–1911
选什么啊? prep答案选的C, GWD选的A...

泾渭不凡

A.比较双方不对等：HC和its return

B.比较双方不对等：HC和its return；助动词had错误，要用一般过去时

C.Correct；原句可还原为Halley 's comet did cause(caused) such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting as in its return of 1910-1911.相当于状语的对比：in no other historical sighting和in its return of 1910-1911的对比，比较结构中的内容是：”such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting as in its return of 1910-1911”，后面部分省略的是a world wide sensation；its return of 1910-1911它在1910-1911的回归，介词用of很常见，当然用in也可以

D.比较双方不对等：HC和its return

E.比较对象不对等：介词短语In no other historical sighting和名词短语its return in 1910–1911对比

补充说明：1. 本题倒装+比较

Halley's comet did not cause such a worldwide sensation in other historical sighting as (a world wide sensation) in its return of 1910–1911

2. OG12-138解释：

Parallelism; Verb form; Logical predication

The single subject of this sentence is Halley’s Comet, and its single verb phrase is did cause. The comparison presented by the sentence is between adverbial phrases describing times when the comet was seen. Grammatically, the items being compared are parallel prepositional phrases beginning with the preposition in: in no other sighting and in its return in 1910–1911. This is the clearest, most economical way of presenting the information. The options that introduce a second verb (did or had) violate the parallelism and introduce a comparison between the comet itself (subject of the verb did cause) and the comet’s return (subject of the verb did or had).

A This sentence implies a comparison between the comet and its return.

B This sentence implies a comparison between the comet and its return; had is the wrong auxiliary verb form because it must be followed by caused instead of cause.

C Correct. The parallel prepositional phrases in this sentence correctly compare times when the comet was sighted.

D This sentence implies a comparison between the comet and its return.

E This sentence violates parallelism, implying a comparison between a prepositional phrase and a noun phrase.

Th e correct answer is C.

泾渭不凡

GWD一些答案是错的，prep，OG中一些题和GWD的相同的，发现相同题注意对照一下答案就好。

加油，祝好。
