10.   While the base salary for the top five officers of the company did not change from 1990 to 1991, cuts were made nonsalary compensation, as in allowances for overseas assignments and club memberships.

(A) cuts were made nonsalary compensation, as in

(B) cuts were made in such nonsalary compensation as

(C) cuts were made in such nonsalary compensation as those in

(D) cuts in nonsalary compensation were made in areas like

(E) there were cuts made in nonsalary compensation, in areas like

这题我选B，新东方的老师说答案错，应该选C，请各位帮我看看

我也十分不理解。作为such as结构, 后面的allowances等是non-salary

compensation的具体例子，实在不明白这里的those是指代什么？

C后面的those，按照数量和后面跟上的介词in，必须指代cuts, 所以就不是对nonsalary compensation做例举了，整句话的结构就不对了。

A:首先我假定made后面有个in被漏掉了。然后 as [those were made] in 的结构也是对的，as in前面那个逗号用法有没有错，表示as引导的clause是个non-restrictive relative clause. 但是A应该是错的，主要是逻辑上allowances是一种nonsalary compensation，这里前后关系应该是allowances, as an example, illustratively represents the larger subject, nonsalary compensation. 表达这个关系应该用such as，而非as。

A as B结构里面，as的最根本的用法是用来表示A [takes some action] in the position of B.

B语法上是对的。

D错在和A类似的原因，A like B imply A is analogous to B (roughly A=B), A such as B imply A is a superset of B.

E除了包含D的错误以外还比较wordy.

所以选B.
