The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.

(A) The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.
(B) The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's cars and trucks would decrease four-tenths of one percent, or about $72, from that of comparably equipped models this year.

(D) Compared to comparably equipped models this year, the automobile company announced that the average price of next year's cars and trucks would decrease about $72, less by four-tenths of one percent.
(E) Contrasted with comparably equipped cars and trucks of this year, the automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease about $72, or four-tenths of one percent.



答案B
---------------------
這題頗討厭的，看很久才看出答案是B
D和E脫節, 直接刪去,
(A)four-tenths of one percent和comparably equipped cars and trucks比, 錯

(B)that= average price, 意思是明年的平均價錢會從今年相同等級的model減個0.4%, 或是$72

(C) 句末的below this year's comparably equipped cars and trucks.可以修飾$72 也可以修飾the next year's average price
但這樣解釋又似乎少注意了什麼細節

大家是如何刪去C的?

[dibert8]

(C) 的問題蠻多:
1. there 不簡潔
2. decrease 指 price (i.e. decrease in price), 不是 year('s)
3. decrease =/= $72, 應該是 price
4. decrease... from, 不是 decrease... below

[dibert8]

(A) 的 as 省略主詞 (= price), 和 cars and trucks 比較不同類

我的看法是不行耶,

comparably是修飾equipped models

意思是說同等級配備的車款,跟compared(比較)的意思並不一樣喔

[oneseven]

there + be + 名詞形式不如直接用動詞表達有效

比較的雙方不對應 前者是average price 後者是 comparably equipped cars

The automobile company announced that the average price of next year's models would decrease four-tenths of one percent, amounting to about $72, as compared with comparably equipped cars and trucks this year.

(C) The automobile company announced that there would be a decrease of four-tenths of one percent in next year's models' average price, or about $72, below this year's comparably equipped cars and trucks.

答案B
---------------------

(C) 句末的below this year's comparably equipped cars and trucks.可以修飾$72 也可以修飾the next year's average price
但這樣解釋又似乎少注意了什麼細節

大家是如何刪去C的?

below(介) + N → 狀語當副詞修飾最近N或V
在此修飾最近N 也就是...price / about $72 → 概念不對等(錢跟車不能比)
所以刪C!
