52. According to the Better Business Bureau, if you fail to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as that of the lowest, it violates the New York Consumer Protection Law.

(A) if you fail to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as that of the lowest, it
(B) if one fails to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as the lowest price, it
(C) failure to advertise the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as prominently as the lowest
(D) failure to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as the lowest
(E) failing to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or products as that of the lowest

答案C
麻煩哪位大大解釋一下，第二個as後面的結構是...? 省略了什麼?

AB的it無先行詞
E的failing不好
D的錯點又是什麼呢? 我只覺得as prominently怪怪的。

我想會不會是因 D的及物動詞與受詞中間,插入了其他的詞,所以不選 !
...to advertise [as prominently] the highest price....

[sweetymanman]

(D) failure to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or product as the lowest
(E) failing to advertise as prominently the highest price in a range of prices for a service or products as that of the lowest

我的想法是如下和大家分享：
題目原意 failure to advertise the highest price.... as prominently as the lowest (price)-----> the highest price v.s the lowest price
但在(D)(E)中的比較基準不對

此外(E)as that of...... 不知指誰？有誤

(A) (B) 的 it 無所代, 也不是虛主詞(<> if子句)的結構 => 刪除
(E) the highest price 跟 that of the lowest (price) 不對稱,不好 => 刪除
剩下 (C) (D) 選一個, 一樣長,只是字的位置不同,考修飾語的位置.
(D) (N?) as ... as the lowest => the lowest 無所比 => 刪除
(C) the highest price as ... as the lowest (price) => 結構對稱
