D. comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many

E. comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people, many of whom

Correct; E

C: wrong, the reference of them is unclear and the expression is generally awkward.

E: the land area of Laos is correctly compared to that of Great Britain, Whom referes appropriately to people

我选C结果不对,说them指代不清楚,我怎么觉得 whom在下面看着才乱?哪位nn帮忙看下?

many of whom是非限制性定于从句把~whom指前面的peoople，

记得XDF讲过代词不能指代宾语之类的，people是of的宾语了，所以不能指代了吧。

个人看法，不知道对不对

首先，C选项中，Great Britain's land area，所有格形式，一般在GMAT考试不会推荐使

用，E选项中that of就已经指代land area了

这种用法，你可以看OG69题，也有一个that of的用法，希望，能帮助你
