In 1979 lack of rain reduced India's rice production to about 41 million tons, nearly 25 percent less than those of the 1978 harvest.
less than those of the 1978 harvest
less than the 1978 harvest
less than 1978
fewer than 1978
fewer than that of India's 1978 harvest
那就更不对了。harvest本身就表示了“收成”。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
1. less/ fewer: production is a uncountable noun, hence we choose less. eliminate D & E.
2. production should be parallel with a qty, not a year, eliminate C.
3. tons is a measure unit, not a plural noun, hence those is a dangled pronoun, eliminate A.
B is the correct answer choice.
production是不可数名词，不能用few，排除DE
C:production和1978比
A:less than those of the 1978 harvest:those指代复数名词，没有指代对象
those只能指代复数，rice production是不可数的单数登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
题目比较的就是产量，harvest应该已经指代了production，不需要再用一个that来指代，否则就赘余啦登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
India‘s rice production in 1979 is 25% less than (that in) 1978
that指代前面的production没有问题。但是，这道题目中，正如选项(B)写的那样，harvest自己已经是代词了，已经指代了production了，所以就没有必要再用一个that来指代production，这样反而是赘余的。
谢谢。之前看E选项说“that of India’s 1978 harvest不是比较对象”，不太理解，所以请教一下，感谢感谢~登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
因为这里的harvest已经是代词了，再加that of，会形成赘余的现象。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
