A study on couples' retirement transitions found that women who took new jobs after retiring from their primary careers reported high marital satisfaction, more than when retiring completely.

(A) more than when retiring

(B) more than if they were to retire

(C) more so than those who retired

(D) which was more so than those retiring

(E) which was more than if they had retired

答案为C
语法笔记中说，C中THOSE 指代 前述WOMEN， 但小弟研读MANHATTAN SC 中 明确指出THOSE 不能单独使用指代名词
Finally, on the GMAT, do not use this or these in place of nouns. Also, do not use that or
those in place of nouns (unless you modify that or those). Use it, they, or them instead.
Wrong: Her products are unusual; many consider THESE unique.
Right: Her products are unusual; many consider THEM unique.

more than 后面缺少被比较的主体，所以才有了those，代替women，复数

我当时是疑问THOSE是否可以做为名词性质的代词，在不跟名词的情况下单独出现
后来我自己弄明白了
MANHATTAN 写的也没错
问题就出在  (unless you modify that or those). 这句话
选项C中 是对THOSE用定语从句做了修饰的了，所以不算是完全的单独出现
还是谢谢 CAROL！
