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
two stop signs to spot the right answer choice:
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.
