这题是偶从LZM书上抄下的,不是他的练习题(印象中是OG题,可偶找不到对应的OG题号)

Wind resistance created by opening windows while driving results in a fuel penalty as great or greater than is incurred by using air conditioning.

( B ) that is as great or greater than is incurred using air condition

( C ) as great as or greater than that of using air conditioning

( D ) at least as great as air conditioning’s

( E ) at least as that incurred by using air conditioning

Key: ( E )

A, B不选是因为as great 后要补出as

C 不选是因为that 指代 wind resistance

D air conditioning’s 也指wind resistance

偶的问题:

如果C的that 会指风阻,那 E 为啥不会呢?

D省略的油耗,逻辑上讲得通啊, 省略的部分句意上不会指风阻,

请指正偶的思路,谢谢

C as great as or greater than 罗嗦吧；that不是引导从句，只做代词，这里指代物不能一目了然

D 如楼主说的省略的油耗，补上，air conditioning’s fuel penalty，不合适，因为不是空调本身造成的油耗，而是使用空调造成的油耗fuel penalty incurred by using air conditioning

E that从句的常见用法，that清晰的就近指代fuel penalty

我的问题是，比较时是否也要考虑平行结构？如——Wind resistance results in a fuel penalty at least as the using of air conditioning does
