1.        Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their production history.

(A) small cars more fuel-efficient now than at any time in their

(B) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than they were at any time in their

(C) small cars that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in

(D) more fuel-efficient small cars than those at any other time in their（C）

(E) more fuel-efficient small cars now than at any time in

句意应该是比较more/less fuel-efficient, 但是C 正确选项中的those 能达到这个目的吗？它是怎么替代的，补足后句子是怎样的呢？谢谢！

请注意比较的是small cars. 所以需要用those保持比较形式的对称.

Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars that are more fuel-efficient than small cars that are made at any other time in production history.

It is what the parallelism should be in my mind.

怎么是比较small cars呢，可是 整个句子里的比较级只有more 一个啊？

同问.

Today’s technology allows manufacturers to make small cars (that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in production history.)

这个that 的定语从句为什么也可以比较呢? 怎样还原呢?

偷懒一下。

that are more fuel-efficient than those at any other time in production history 是限定 small cars 的。

that 指的是 small cars, 补全后便为

Small cars are more fuel-efficient than small cars at any other time in production history
