Exceeding even the figures predicted by the most optimistic financial analysts, the automobile company had earnings in the first quarter that more than doubled the previous quarter.
company had earnings in the first quarter that more than doubled
company earned more than double in the first quarter what they were in
company had first quarter earnings that more than doubled those in
company's earnings in the first quarter were more than double
company's earnings in the first quarter were more than double those of
不应该和前边并列用those in 吗?in the previous quarter吧?怎么会用of呢
earnings in the first quarter和earnings of the previous quarter,只要保证比较对象是可比的就行。不要求两个noun+prep中的prep必须一样

句首伴随exceeding figure,主语应选earning更符合逻辑。D中,earning无法和季度比较,排除
E correct
1、状语修饰主语,排除ABC;
2、D makes a wrong conparison between earnings and the previous quarter,排除D.
核心非核心想多了……
考点:比较 修饰
exceeding放句首作状语,和主句主语相互比较。exceeding后是the figures,因此主语必须是earnings而不是company. more than double前后比较的对象是earnings,than后用those来代替前面的复数名词
A the figures和company不可比;earnings 和 the previous quarter不可比;
B the figures和company不可比;
C the figures和company不可比;
D earnings和the previous quarter不可比;
E 正确
