一道专四选择题There were more casualties in the explosion than

A being reported B it was reported C was reported D to be reported

答：C

译：爆炸中伤亡人数比报道的更多。

分析：than引导的比较状语从句常省略。这里省略了主语what

= than what was reported

细看题句还是有问题的，不知道more casualties与什么在比较。

其实用than reproted最好了，即有省略，又避免其中的语法问题（什么和什么比较，省略了什么?主谓一致？）

请看这里老外的解释：
