GWD1-Q31:A只说明winter wheat 利润低，没有比较关系啊，感觉不充分。

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

Davison River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring.  Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable.  Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davison River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average.  Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since‗‗‗‗‗‗.

WHY？

why nobody reply my question?

我的问题太低端了是不是？

a ratio 做同位语可是前面没有对应的名词, 错. 而且compares 应该为被动.

==============
定居去F的比例下降了. 但是D说,总人数增多了. 那么有可能定居去F的人数实际上是增加了.

==============
看句子结构 the army of terra-cotta warriors is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete.

===========
通常Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. 现在winter wheat harvest 少了.而且winter wheat prices还不higher enough, 所以winter wheat利润比以前低了. 也就比spring wheat 低

===============

需要用that从句. 排除CDE. personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter. double 后面的部分已经有personal spending了因此不需要再加that of
而且,Retail sales rose 8/10 of 1 percent in August这个事实使得原先的expectations变得很困难, expectations that personal spending would more than double,原先预计的情况,要用过去将来时

万分感谢版主！
