Question

As a matter of fact, Saudi Arabia's oil reserves are second only to ___.
A. Kuweit B. that of Kuweit
C. Kuweit's D. those of Kuweit
C为什么不对

Answer 1

翻译是“实际上,沙特阿拉伯的石油储量仅次于科威特.” 应选D
As a matter of fact,Saudi Arabia's oil reserves are second only to those of Kuwait.
"those of"代表了“oil reserves”,这里的those替代的是表特指的复数名词,of所有格一般用于无生命的东西的名词中,石油储量是没有生命特征的,所以用“those of Kuwait”
