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

B or D?

我也认为是E。

1， the man-eater of the movies应该是 the great white shark的同谓语，并且由于only 的存在，在意思上表明了比较对象是seven people,所以ones 不会造成岐义。

2、B fewer than have been, 虽说可以认为是have前主语的省略，但总有点than 前后不平的感觉。

大家来讨论一下啊 C E.movies, fewer than the ones

这个选项会不会有这样的歧义，

Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies, （which is)fewer than the ones killed by bee stings.这样fewer就修饰the man-eater of the movies去了。

NN们指教
