请教谓语动词补出的问题

jeff0613

The unskilled workers at the Allenby realized that their hourly rate of $4.1 to $4.75 was better than

A. many nearby factory wages
B. many wages in nearby factories
C. what are offered by many nearby factories
D. it is in many nearby factories
E. that offered by many neary factories

my choice: D
right answer: E

比较两个主语时谓语动词要尽量补出。这道题是不补谓语动词的例外吗？[em06]

补出代词，应该和it,that指代的对象有关，it指词本身，that+定语指中心词，因为工人只可能在一家工厂工作，故The unskilled workers at the Allenby realized that their hourly rate of $4.1 to $4.75 was better than their hourly rate（D中用it指） is in many nearby factories是不合理的。E中that指hourly rate

补充以下：为了对称，即是用D也应该用they。
E中that指hourly rates

jeff0613, 对不起，这道题是省略了谓语

比较的是从句的主语 their hourly rate 和that.
当比较的是主语时，谓语动词可以补出也可以不补。这个好象OG上有例子，主要还是要看是否会造成歧义如果不补出动词

请再看一下这题：
E9-47

Some psychiatric studies indicate that among distinguishedartists ( the rates of manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times as prevalant as in ) the population at large.

A. the rates ofmanic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times as prevalant as in

B. the rates of manic depression and major depression are then to thirteen times more prevalent than in

C. the rates of manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times more prevalent when compared to

D. manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times as prevalent when compared to

E. manic depression and major depression are ten to thirteen times more prevalent then in

my choice: B
right answer: E

thirten times as prevalant as 的表达正确吗？

我觉得这道题应该是在艺术家中XXX的比例是在普通人口中的几倍呀，B到底是怎么被排除了？

肯定：thirten times as prevalant as 的表达正确

不是在艺术家中XXX的比例是在普通人口中的几倍，比较的是manic depression and major depression 流行程度。这两种病在distinguished artists中比在大多数人中的流行程度高出10-13倍
B 说的是the rates are more prevalant,应该是疾病prevalant
