Question

这道英语选择题应该选什么?

The Moon is much closer to Earth_________is the Sun,and thus it had greater influence on the tides.
(A) unlike
(B) than
(C) but
(D) where
前半句中为什么两个is呢？有人解释是than the sun is ,那为什么要用倒装呢，就算是倒装，恢复后应为The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, 那么the sun is 后补充完整了应该是什么呢？谢谢！

Answer 1

选B. 不仅是前面有比较级closer 与THAN 构成语法的完整性，从语义上看也是选B，全文的意思是说月亮比太阳更离地球近，因此它对潮汐的影响更大

Answer 2

选B
much closer 是比较级,与...相比要用than
The Moon is much closer to Earth than is the Sun,and thus it had greater influence on the tides.
理解为:
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, and thus it had greater influence on the tides.

Answer 3

B. 前面有比较级closer

Answer 4

我觉的,没有答案.

Answer 5

谁解释下is the sun为什么要倒装……
