Q4:

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

1. movies—less than those
2. movies—fewer than have been
3. movies, which is less than those
4. movies, a number lower than the people
5. movies, fewer than the ones

The give answer is E, but I am not sure whether the "ones" has reference. Why not B?

Thanks in advance for sharing your comments

ones 指代被蜜蜂叮死的人，B缺少比较对象。

首先，标点符号用的太随意。

其次，其中的比较对象省略，原本无可厚非，因为和前面的相同，但是补充上后成了句子，不是名词了。fewer than the number of people have been killed by bee stings.至少得变成fewer than having been, 但这种形式gmat并不认可。
