43题，（个人理解啊）
B选项比较的对象有问题，错误的比较了land area和Great Britain,
 there is看着就不顺眼。。。跟其它选项对比一下还显得啰嗦。
 comma+and many，我不太清楚many在修饰谁呢，修饰谁都感觉不太对。。
D选项也是比较的不对，land area和the size比较了。
 OG对于and的解释就是说过分的强调了many of the people in Laos live in inaccessible places.
 也就是说，句子的重点并不在这里，但是这个and把重点转移了，就不对了。

从策略角度分析：
一般指代的歧义不要作为排除点，除非非常明显的逻辑语意或者单复数指代的错误；或者出现原词重现。
这里的五个选项都有them，所以用指代去排除意义不大！
从语法角度分析：
A选项的they和them指代不同；they显然指代artisans，them应该指代images，显然指代不一致是错误的。
B选项they指代images，没有歧义；（你可能会觉得images出现在介宾短语里面，属于弱指代；而且they同样可以指代artisans，不过GMAT对指代是非常的宽容～～～～～）
同理：C/D/E选项they指代images，没有问题
