Gone are the sharp edges and jutting planes of styles from former eras; instead, designers of everything from cars to computer monitors have adopted a cornerless style of smooth surfaces and curves that is more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape for its own sake.
more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape
more ergonomic, conformed to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape
ergonomic, more conformed to the shape of the body and not to shape flaunted
ergonomic, conforming more to the body's shape rather than shape flaunted
ergonomic, conforming more to the shape of the body than flaunting shape

锋利的边缘和突出的表面此类的风格已经是过去式；相反，设计师采取有着平滑表面和曲线的风格，这种风格是更加人体工学的，（设计师）顺应了汽车的形状而非因自己主观喜好张扬flaunting（汽车的）外形。
由于ergonomic人体工学的和flaunt炫耀两个词不认识导致无法正确读懂语意。
another item to examine is parallelism. in this case, in the construction 'X rather than Y' (or its analogues, 'X and not Y' and 'more X than Y'), items X and Y must be parallel.
choice a: conforming... rather than flaunting... <-- good parallelism!
choice b: to the body's shape and not to flaunting shape <-- logically nonparallel and also awkward
choice c: can't use 'more' together with 'and not to' (these are exclusive constructions, sort of like 'both' and 'as well as': if you use one, then you can't use the other), so we don't need to consider the parallelism in the first place.
choice d: can't use 'more' together with 'rather than'; also, bad parallelism between to the body's shape and shape flaunted...
choice e: more to the shape... than flaunting... <-- nonparallel
in fact, the winning choice (a) is the ONLY choice that properly compares 'conforming' and 'flaunting' in parallel. all of the other constructions also change the meaning of the sentence via their alterations of the words.

first, examine the split between 'more ergonomic' and just 'ergonomic'. in this case, we must preserve the meaning of the original statement: the new design is more ergonomic than the old design. if we change this to just 'ergonomic', we're attaching an implication that the old design simply wasn't ergonomic (and that the new design, by contrast, is) - an unacceptable implication. that gets rid of answer choices c, d, and e right there.

A: conforming和flaunting伴随状语修饰designers have adopted a cornerless styleBC变成三者并列结构，错误
D: more rather than 无该用法
E: More than 对比不对称

A: 中more和rather than 是分开在两个句子中的，所以没关系，但是D就错了
记住，伴随确实就近修饰，但是应该是就近修饰主句
B: 三个并列，错误
C：同B
D: more rather than 无该用法
E: More than 对比不对称
B的话是平行不对
E应该是跟原意不一样吧，因为没说comforming more ？ 或者说 more to than to？
A，conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape，贴合身体线条而不是夸耀自己的形状，意思是没有夸耀。
A更优。

A更优。
E里more做much的比较级，做副词，修饰conform。than是连词。这个结构里的比较对象是可以接受的。
