254. Balding is much more common among White males than males of other races.
(A) than
(B) than among (A)
(C) than is so of
(D) compared to
(E) in comparison with

B, the best choice, correctly uses the idiomatic construction more common among x than among y. In A, the comparison is not parallel and not clear; one illogical but available reading is that balding is more common among White males than are males of other races. To be clear, the sentence should read more common among White males than among .... In C, the phrase is so cannot refer to the process Balding, and more common among ... than is so lacks parallelism. In D and E, the phrases more common... compared to and more common ... in comparison with are redundant and unidiomatic. The correct form is more common than.

請教各位OG解釋提到one illogical but available reading是指balding is more common among White males than are males of other races這句話為"常見錯誤嗎"? 為什麼illogical呢？謝謝！

而A不對，是否因為A可為(B)的省略或是上面一句省略"are"=>造成not clear??

illogical自己回答
應是比較標的不同所造成的錯誤: balding <=> males of other races

而A不對，是否因為A可為(B)的省略或是上面一句省略"are"=>造成not clear??

A不對是因為 among的省略
本題 美國男性與其他種族的男性比
