考题讲解

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。
