1. (A)was greater last year than in any other year 多了一個in 沒有平衡 為什麼還是對
不用改成 was greater last year than any other year
或是 The rate ..was greater last year than that in any other year 嗎

這個..哪一年的rate本來就需要in。
只是剛好遇到了一個last，所以不加in直接接上last year。

2. (B)(C)為什麼錯

The increased rate in the number of Black elected officials nationwide was greater last year than in
B改變句意了，你在仔細讀讀看。
The rate of increase in the number of Black elected officials was greater nationwide last year than
C不但改變句意，在than後面也少了個in
