求助OG13.16, as adj. as gmat语法常见的省略问题

coconutmi

16. A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.

(A) claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought

(B) claims suggests that the economy might not be so weak as some analysts have previously thought

(C) claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as have been previously thought by some analysts

(D) claims, suggesting about the economy that it might not be so weak as previously thought by some analysts

(E) claims, suggesting the economy might not be as weak as previously thought to be by some analysts

对正确选项A只是一个不解。
economy might not be as weak as  some analysts preciously thought从句是对economy和analysts认为的经济情况比较，
故此句完整是：economy might not be as weak as what / the economy that some analysts preciously thought (was).

类似用法如下：
GWD5-Q14:
Even though more money was removed out of stock funds in July as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as an industry trade group had previously estimated.
A. as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as
B. as had been in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what
C. than there was in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as that which
D. than in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as
E. than in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

as adj. as 比较中，省略be很常见，但省略what/the economy就相当于缺乏主语，不知是否也是习惯的省略用法？

一碰到省略就陷进去。。。。 谢谢各位啦！

自己顶一下，难道进行比较时后半部分都可直接省略比较对象只需要描述比较对象出现的情况？比如analysts thought。。。。。

比较结构的主语和谓语和主句的主语和谓语相同时，可以全部省去

至于后面gwd里面的那个E选项：sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what  an industry trade group had previously estimated。中what指代的是sales of fund shares，在从句中不是做主语，所以不能省略

  哈~~~谢谢！我也发现很多时候是可以相对灵活的省略的~~~~~

不过...单从句子结构来看，我咋觉得GWD和前面那个也类似，比如补全了就可以写成，sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what an industry trade group had previously estimated    (were)....
而其中 what在比较对象的从句中都做宾语  thought sth 和 estimated sth。
