GWD-12-Q30:
According to public health officials, in 1998 Massachusetts became the first state in which more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it.

A.    than
B.    than born
C.    than they were
D.    than there had been
E.    than had been born
ANS: A  看过讨论 明白了
可是这道题为什么不能选C呢？

从语法角度，they指代前文出现过的人即women over the age of thirty.  所以不合逻辑

arthurman

是说they可以指babies 也可以指women over the age of thirty，所以指代不清吗？

代词出错的概率比较高，they可能指代women over the age of thirty

...more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it.

这句比较的是年龄，30以上比较30以下，所以是it，指代the age of thirty。选they就变成了women 和年龄在比较。

我恍然大悟了。。。
