Question

请帮解一道题 English is used more widely than(any other language)in the world.

English is said to be used more widely than( )in the world.
A any other language B that of any other languages
答案是A A我懂，请说明B 不对的原因

Answer 1

如果我把题目改一下就是选B。
如果题目变成 the number of people speaking chinese is larger than ( ) in the world. 那正确答案就是B了，而不是A。因为这个题目里括号里面应该填the number of any other languages,B里面用that代替了the number of ，这个用法在英语里很普遍，英语里经常用that，this替代一些比较长的短语。所以应该选B.

在你说的这个题目里面，括号里面直接写any other language就可以了，不需要用that代替，在这里用that是画蛇添足。

Answer 2

A.
