The overall slackening of growth in productivity is influenced less by government regulation, although that is significant for specific industries like mining, than
the coming to an end of
a period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity.
选项
A、the coming to an end of
B、the ending of
C、by the coming to an end of
D、by ending
E、by the end of
答案
C
解析
As worded, the sentence is not parallel: less by must be made parallel by using than by. Thus, the sentence needs to read is influenced less by ... than by. For this reason, the first two answer choices can be ruled out.
To choose among the remaining three options, consider which of the coming to an end of, ending, and the end of best conveys the most likely intended meaning: that the overall slackening of growth in productivity is largely influenced by the fact that a period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity is coming to an end.
A As noted above, this version is not parallel; it lacks the less by ... than by construction.
B This version is also not parallel; it lacks the appropriate less by ... than by construction.
C Correct. This version correctly uses the less by ... than by construction. It clearly expresses the most likely intended meaning, discussed above.
D This version sounds as if it is saying that the period of rapid growth of agricultural productivity is intentionally being ended. This deviates from the intended meaning of the sentence.
E We can understand this choice to say that the slackening of growth in productivity is largely influenced by the final part of the period of rapid growth in agricultural productivity. This also deviates from the intended meaning.
The correct answer is C.
