OG13 SC 43

xiongmaoFF

43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain but only four million in population, where many are members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north

D. comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only four million in population, and many

E. comparable to that of Great Britain but a population of only four million people,many of whom

请教下各位XDJM，
D选项到底错哪了？难道就是因为the coording conjunction  'and' gives undue emphasis to the claim that many of the piople in Laos live in inaccessible places ?
对于E选项的话我还觉得是错的呢~~population 和people 用得多redundant啊~~~~
求解释~~

and出现不符合句意


转折的是Laos地广但是人稀！！理解清这个转折


D选项的and many of 给予了人们这个成分太多的重心！这个部分应该是修饰成分，不能出现在主句的转折！因为不是转折的一部分


land area should be compared to land area ， not size

我明白了，本来many 那部分是属于从属句（where引导的），但是D选项却用一个 and引导，把它从属的位置变成和主句平行的位置了！~~~~
！！真是太感谢了！！
