All of these alternatives are carbon-based fuels whose molecules are smaller and simpler than .......... .
پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ D — those of gasoline
پاسخ تشریحی
Answer: option 4 — those of gasoline maintains a parallel comparison (مقایسهٔ همسنخ): molecules are compared with molecules. The plural demonstrative those substitutes for the molecules, and of gasoline identifies which molecules.
- (1) gasoline is: compares molecules with gasoline itself; the added is does not supply the missing noun reference.
- (2) gasoline: likewise compares molecules with a fuel rather than with that fuel’s molecules.
- (3) they are in gasoline: inserts a clause without a structure that makes it the corresponding term of this comparison.
Exam trick: Expand those of to the plural noun of: compare the same kind of thing on both sides of than.
