two question in the OG

233题，D难道不能解释为3个并列的短句吗？
242题，我认为A 中的no more than为"至少",是表强调,是不是不应该省略呢?[em12]

242. Even their most ardent champions concede that no less than a technical or scientific breakthrough is necessary before solar cells can meet the goal of providing one percent of the nation's energy needs.
A. that no less than a technical or scientific breakthrough is necessary
C. that a technical or scientific breakthrough is necessary

Choices A and B needlessly lengthen the statement by expressing the idea through negation: no less than and nothing other than could be dropped without loss of meaning.

这里我也有疑问, 解释上说[no less than 是多余, 可以删掉不失原义], 这如何说得通?
[至少]的意义在c中没有表达

去掉no less than 后，意思是没有改变，但语气好象是减弱了。
