Question: Manufacturing output in the nation of Okroshkia rose 4.9 percent in the year that ended in February, far more than they did in 12 months that ended in the previous quarter.
Needed elements of a correct answer:
Subject = "Manufacturing output" = singular
Two comparative terms require a simple 1 to 1 comparison using an [adjective]-er, more, or, less.
"Manufacturing output" = uncountable percent = less/more
(A) more than they did
No... "they" = plural subject is incorrect. Singular is needed.
(B) more than they were
No... once again,"they" = plural subject is incorrect.
(C) more than it did
Yes... "more" = uncountable output; "it" = singular Also, I think "did" helps omit and create a shorter sentence comparison.
(D) higher than
No... "higher" is typically used with pure numbers. Also the comparison is incomplete. "X far higher than Y", would be needed.
(E) higher than it was
No..."higher" is typically used with pure numbers.
Correct Answer: C
