倒装，原句等同于Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation In no other historical sighting as in its return in 1910–1911
a worldwide sensation In no other historical sighting和 a worldwide sensation in its return in 1910–1911对比平行，可以省略 a worldwide sensation

经典比较、省略、倒装、强调句
首先句子是否定倒装的句，用来强调没有哪个可以跟这个比。
In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation
还原后应该是Halley's comet caused such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting...
as后面应该是(Halley's comet caused such a worldwide sensation) in its return of 1910–1911
由于as后面的前半大部分都是重复的，因此可以被省略掉
再回看其他选项有什么问题：
A.did its return in 1910–1911=its return cuase such a worldwide sensation...主语变成了its return而不是comet，跟前面不平行。
B.had its 1910–1911 return。这个时态就是错的，没有时间参考对象，另外主语也不平行
D和E都跟A同理。
这个题必须要注意是一个倒装句，而且是强调句，找准主语是谁，比较的是什么东西才行。

原句：H caused a sensation in no time than…后面比较的应该是相同主体（H）
A: H caused a sensation in no time than its return did in 1910 比较主体变成了H vs return
B: H caused a sensation in no time than its return had 比较主体变成了H vs return
C: H caused a sensation in no time than in its return of 1910
E: H caused a sensation in no time than its return in 1910 比较主体变成了H vs return

这个题唯一的主语是comet，ABD都是彗星与return在比较

Halley 's comet did cause such a worlwide sensation in no other historical sighting as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911
比較用法的兩大兩小原則：
第一大：比較用片語的適當性

-普通比較(more 配 than, as配as...)
-特殊比較(compared to/with , as, like/unlike...)

第二大：可比性(平行對稱)
-人比人、物比物、懶x不能比雞腿

第一小：排除自己原則
-Taipei 101 was once taller than "any other" buildings in the world.

第二小：指明要比誰(是否補出助動詞)
S....+比較用法....+O...than/as
若與主詞相比要補出助動詞。

In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as in its return of 1910–1911.
历史上没有哪次哈雷彗星回归造成了跟1910-1911回归的这样的世界性范围的轰动。

its return of 1910-1911:它在1910-1911的回归，介词用of很常见，当然用in也可以

A. 比较双方不对等： HC和its return
B. 比较双方不对等： HC和its return； 助动词had错误，要用一般过去时
D. 比较双方不对等： HC和its return
E. 比较对象不对等：介词短语In no other historical sighting和名词短语its return in 1910–1911对比

In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as in its return of 1910–1911
Halley's comet cause such //a worldwide sensation 【in no other historical sighting】 as 【in its return of 1910–1911】//

In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation 变换倒装得到：
Halley's comet did not cause such a worldwide sensation in other historical sighting (as XXXX)
括号中可以的内容有：
（it did） in its return of 1901-1911 这里的关键是 如果选项中存在了 its return 那起那面必定应该有个介词In
或者去掉return： (it did) in 1901-1911 也是可以的
A/D都错在将it's return 与 Halley‘s comet作比较

重点是要找到比较的两个主语：前面是什么，后面是什么

倒装，比较的是In no other historical sighting与in its return of 1910–1911

两个事件比较为什么要主语相同？ i ate more pizza than he did， 我和他吃进行比较，没什么不可以。 你应该说的是：默认是同一个事件的时间比较，a今天做什么，明天做什么；肯定得是同一个主语，不然无法比较。但默认就是比较一个事件发生的不同时间并不是正确的解题方式。两个事件引起的不同轰动程度比较也是可以的，只是需要排除这个说法给出的选项用法不对。

comet cause such (senstation in no other historical sighting) as (sensation in its return in 1910)

Halley's comet caused such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting as in its return of 1910–1911.

In no other historical sighting did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation as
倒装句，还原为： Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation in no other historical sighting as。。。
所以划线部分应该要和 in no other historical sighting 平行，是两个时间的比较。

1) as 说明是对比，要关注平行，in no other historical sighting与in 1910-1911不平行 (Ron)
2) 去掉状语后的句子是 did Halley's comet cause such a worldwide sensation

知识点：比较，平行
注意such as 指 例如，譬如 （=for example）后面可加名词或短语。
such...as...单独两个词，中间和as后组成比较，相似的两个，像…这种的，像…那样的。

而e选项则是因为又可能省略了did又可能省略了in而可能有错误

remember that you're going to have to use MEANING to figure out what should be compared.
in this sentence, the non-underlined part contains the following elements:
* the comet DID cause a sensation
* IN no other sighting
so ... if you had "[some other sighting] DID", or "IN [something else that caused a sensation]", then that would be an error -- not necessarily a grammar error, but a meaning error because it'd be nonsense.

Halley 's comet did cause such a worlwide sensation in no other historical sighting as (it did) in its return of 1910-1911
比較用法的兩大兩小原則：

比较的是其他次的回归与1910的回归，用这两个比
开头的In no other historical sighting是倒装，后面也用倒装
