Laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight hours can prevent automobile collisions. However, since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countries. In fact, the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.
Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the information given above?
Drivers in the continental United States who used their headlights during the day would be just as likely to become involved in a collision as would drivers who did not use their headlights.
In many countries that are farther from the equator than is the continental United States poor daylight visibility is the single most important factor in automobile collisions.
The proportion of automobile collisions that occur in the daytime is greater in the continental United States than in the countries that have daytime headlight laws.
Fewer automobile collisions probably occur each year in countries that have daytime headlight laws than occur within the continental United States.
Daytime headlight laws would probably do less to prevent automobile collisions in the continental United States than they do in the countries that have the laws.
than is the continental United States.
有没有NN能帮忙解释一下,为什么 最后一句的than后面是is,这句话的意思应该是 执行该法律的国家是比赤道远,而不是比美国大陆近? 最后一句的结构不是很明白呢,谢谢~~~
最后一句是省略加倒装,补全了是:the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than the continental United States (is farther from the equator).翻译是:而事实上现在只有比美国大陆更远离赤道的国家有这个法律。 (换言之,有这个法律的国家都比美国大陆远离赤道)。读懂了这句答案就不明而喻啦!
