题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:由于比较对象是“人”,而人是可数名词,因此less than(用于不可数名词)应改为fewer than。代词those的指代对象是people,比较对象没有问题。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。另外,本题用fewer than those也没有问题。
C选项:定语从句which is less than those killed by bee stings,其在字面上会就近修饰名词,即,the man-eater of the movies,逻辑有误。less than错误同选项(A)。
D选项:比数量应该用fewer than而不是lower than,数量只有多少,没有高低。
E选项:代词the ones指代有误。这个代词通常用于指代前面出现过的一堆人或物种的几个,例如:
I planted a lot of roses in my garden. The ones in white I like the best.
例句中的the ones指代的是a lot of roses中的几朵。在本题中,显然同一群人不可能即被鲨鱼咬死又被蜜蜂咬死。
in the correct answer, we have "have been killed by x" and "have been killed by y".
perfect.
you really aren't going to do any better than that!
in the choice with "those killed by bee stings" -- note that we don't have "people killed by the great white shark" in the other part.
