Verbal 2nd sc98 求nn解答

slave918

98. Although Napoleon’s army entered Russia with far more supplies than they had in their previous campaigns, it had provisions for only twenty-four days.
(A) they had in their previous campaigns,
(B) their previous campaigns had had,
(C) they had for any previous campaign,
(D) in their previous campaigns,
(E) for any previous campaign,

OA is E.
我知道前4个选项是因为主谓不一致。
我想问各位NN的是: E选项中这个比较是如何完成的？因为我找不到和E中的for any previous campaign想比较的内容。
Thanks in advance!

自己顶一楼，没有nn解答吗

If than is followed by a clause referring to army, the subject of that clause must be singular (it). Furthermore, the verb of that clause will need to be in the past perfect form (had had) because it refers to a time before the simple past of entered. Finally, the preposition for is more precise than in because supplies are gathered for an upcoming campaign. Choices A and C incorrectly use the plural they and the simple past had. Moreover, A uses the less precise in. Choices D and E wisely dispense with the full clause and use a simple prepositional phrase. D, however, uses the imprecise in and the plural their. Only E, the best choice, avoids all the errors mentioned above.

这是一个比较，
although 开头，主句的but不能出现，
it代指Napoleon’s army
重点就是  for any previous campaign 和 for any previous campaign
逻辑意思上对比很完美
