16. Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel.
(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel
(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do
(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel
(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel(E)
(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel
E.没有疑问.但我觉得than后补do 比较好.因为前面有宾语pollutants.不补出有和those比较的歧义. 不知道大家看法如何?我的理解对吗?讨论讨论?

我觉得是less...than前后的对称关系
those →viecles
burning gasoline or diesel fuel→powered by natural gas
emit省略了
你觉得呢?
白勇对E的解释是,LESS OF 修饰前面的EMIT而不是后面的POLLUTANTS,这样就可以解释得通为什么POLLUTANTS复数前面也可以用LESS,我觉得ETS这题出的很阴险
