rate的of型所有格中（做rate的定语）的核心词是fatty foods（consumed in France and the United States是过去分词短语）。在逻辑上，具有相同比率的应该是两个国家人消耗食物这件事情，而不是食物本身拥有比率（食物自己没法有比率）。另外，通常，the rate of food指代的是“食物的价格”。本选项在语意上显然不是“食物的价格在美国法国相同
伴随的本质是一个普通的状语从句，它能表达和主句的因果等关系。
instrumental有帮助的
D选项：由于his literary style和the content of his fiction属于两个没什么交集的内容，所以两者应该具有纯粹的并列平行的关系，而不用as much as。as much as表示其连接的两者在程度上是相同的
Yes, we can use "think of X as (noun)," but I can't think of a case where "think of X as (adjective)" is useful. It would be easier just to say "think X is (adjective."
The noun form is used when we want someone to look at something a different way:
Person 1: "Thanks for paying for dinner, but you didn't have to do that."
Person 2: "Think of it as an early birthday present."
Pronouns are always a function of intended meaning. You can't memorize mechanical rules for this sort of thing.
E.g.,
My grandfather bought literally thousands of bottles of aspirin, just to ensure that his family would never run out of it even in the event of a nuclear disaster.
"It" = aspirin. (Grandad didn't want to run out of aspirin. "Running out of bottles" wasn't the issue.)

D中的they指代歧义，可能指rates。没留意rates也是个复数名词
