※ 引述《likeit (Epi)》之銘言：
: 22.[ Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi,]
: in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.
: (A) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi,
: (B) Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi,
: (C) Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon,
: (D) Plants, more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon,
: (E) Plants acquire carbon more efficiently than fungi,
: 雖然知道選對了答案C
: 但是對選項A仍有疑惑
: 如果今天把are和fungi的位置對調 改成如下：
: Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi are
: 是否就能變成正確答案呢?(也就是說A的寫法本來就有誤)
: 但以下句子兩個都對:
: I know more about shakespeare than my brother does
: I know more about shakespeare than does my brother
: 如果A錯的話
: 代表be動詞不能像助動詞一樣調換位置?
其實這題的比較結構比較對象是在比主詞, 補出be動詞是helping verb,
至於要不要倒裝, 這不是對錯（correctness）問題, 而是好壞(clarify)問題,
這題並沒有在考, 所以A/C可以看修飾語, in the form of carbon dioxide修飾
對象為何那個比較合理.
: 還是A選項沒有錯...只是因為C選項比較好?
C選項確實比較好, 若沒看到修飾語, 可能要瞭解C是比較結構的由輕到重結構,
會把修飾語at acquiring carbon擺在句尾, 這是標準英文的漂亮寫法.
如果正常寫的話會是：
Plants are more efficient (at acquiring carbon) than fungi are.
其實對照A選項就看得出差別了.
