没有可比对象。exceed that which had been, 但前面是growth，一个名词，而不是句子。把which had been去掉合适些

嗯嗯是的，前句没有出现过be，所以这里had been就不合适了，和上一题的考点是一样的

that which had been for 10,000 years表达的意思是，the growth of the global economy had been for 10,000 years。“近十年的全球经济的增长”和“持续了10,000年的全球经济的增长”做比较。但实际句子想表达的意思是，十年间经济的增长，比过去10,000年**期间**增长的还要多。全球经济也不可能持续涨10,000年，其中必然有衰退什么的。
根据句子结构和语义排除BCD。错选E：more than should modifier "fresh water",该句中紧跟修饰Siberia's Lake Baikal，排除。
【RON】when you have an INITIAL MODIFIER THAT'S NOT A CLAUSE (i.e., it doesn't have its own subject and verb), then it must modify the immediately following noun.
same problem in choice (e), which implies that lake baikal itself is somehow "more than all the North American Great Lakes combined".
that doesn't make sense.
关于A的两个modfiers："more than all the North American Great Lakes combined" is actually a MODIFIER of "20% of the world's fresh water", which is WITHIN the first MODIFIER. therefore, it's a SUB-modifier, so to speak.
let me try to illustrate it graphically:
More than 300 rivers drain into Siberia's Lake Baikal(, which holds 20 percent of the world's fresh water(, more than all the North American Great Lakes combined)).
the blue modifier modifies stuff that's inside the orange modifier, so it falls within the orbit of the orange modifier; it MUST be removed if the orange modifier is removed (because it has nothing left to modify).
但是我认为，严格来说，应该是north american great lakes的总水量 和 20% of the world's fresh water做比较才对吧，A里面也没要表达得很清楚，这样看来A和E的差别也未必很大诶，虽说E可能更离谱一点
