天山7-Q39
Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi, in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.
A.Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi
B.Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi
C.Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon
D.Plants, more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon
E.Plants acquire carbon more efficiently than fungi

Key is C

我選了A,
我的理由是are必須要補出, 不然可能會不清楚造成fungi和carbon對稱
因此不選B,
我可以理解C中, are省略不會造成誤解,
也可以理解文法上at acquiring carbon應可以置後共用
但我不能理解為什麼A錯呢?
為什麼C比A好呢?
A還原原句
Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi (efficient at acquiring carbon)
形式上很對稱…

HELP~~~我的理解哪裡錯了~~~~;-$

A: fungi, in the form of carbon dioxide.
C: carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide.
你看出不一樣了嗎？
即使你說A的in the form of carbon dioxide在句意上可以知道他本來就是修飾carbon。
但是因為修飾對象離修飾語越近越好，所以C是較漂亮的答案。

我懂了~~謝謝Pufa GG 點破我看題的盲點!!!

請問答案(C)為何不是Plants are more efficient than "are" fungi at acquiring carbon 呢?
為何答案(A)不能省略答案(C)卻可以省略?

[Penny Lee]

(A) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi
簡單來說,在fungi之前已經出現兩個名詞plants, carbon,所以會造成fungi不知要跟哪一個比

(c) Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon
fungi前只有一個名詞plants所以是跟plants比,不會有比較對象不清楚的問題

閉關兩週後果然程度大幅提升....哈...自己解釋一下好了
答案A.如果後面沒有in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars. 就是正確答案...
本題為了要求平衡故選c
答案B.E看到這種結構決對不選...因為不知道than後名詞是主格或受格....
