as fast as结构中第一个as是副词,修饰紧跟着的形容词或者副词。第二个as是连词后面跟一个句子。
choice a,b: the rate cannot be 'fast/slow',but can be 'high/ low'
c.不是suppliers种植鱼naturally而是fish grow naturally
要与and raising平行,只能cutting,排除BE。
A:rate只有high/low, 不能用fast修饰,可以说fish are growing fast或者the rate is high。
C:growing them naturally的主语是suppliers,供应者养殖鱼肯定是人工的,谈何自然的人工养殖,,应该是鱼自然生长。

前后比较的是一个动作
grow them naturally逻辑上说不通
in this construction, "them" (= fish) is the OBJECT of "growing". this implies that someone else must be growing the fish -- which doesn't make sense if we're talking about natural growth.
意思错 C 与自然增长必须是主动,不能是growing them naturally,将原句的意思更改为“供应商养殖鱼类的生长速度和供应商自然养殖鱼类的速度做比较”,不可能是供应商自然增长地养鱼。应该是“鱼自然生长”。

notice that the correct answer contains "they grow naturally", a more accurate description of what actually happens -- the fish just grow, by themselves.
