6The guiding principles of the tax plan 和the particulars of the plan 是平行结构
do代替have,用现在时是因为前面是虚拟语气，后面表示现在时。do不能省略，否则不能有效指出平行的结构。作者: sunny 时间: 2002-8-20 18:50
less是因为气体或污染物本身是不可数的。指的是多种污染物。为什么 do 省了，因为这里和前一题不同置后的同样结构的谓语和宾语可以省略。而前一题因为时态改变，所以不能省略，因为不是同样的结构。作者: sunny 时间: 2002-8-20 18:53
12，the breathing of human beings 的比较对象是什么taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide这种插入结构是不能成为比较对象的。作者: sunny 时间: 2002-8-20 18:55
make his letters （as a group） the rival of the best novels of the time
中间的as a group 只是一个插入语，意思就是使他的信(从整体上说的话）成为rival.
make sth. sth. 是对的，在这里就是make his letter the rival.
