Knowledge of double comparative sentences
* According to the double comparison structure, we have:
The + {more adj/adv} or {adj/adv_er}, the + {more adj/adv} or {adj/adv_er}: the more……the more………
Topic: Government should take measures to protect wildlife, otherwise more and more animals will be in danger.
= A. The sooner the government takes measures to protect wildlife, the fewer animals will be in danger.
Consider the remaining answers:
B. Because the sooner the government takes measures to protect wildlife, fewer animals will be in danger. → Wrong, because this action is only being encouraged by the government to do, but in fact it has not happened yet, so the cause-effect clause cannot be used
C. The more measures the government takes to protect wildlife, the fewer animals will be in danger. → Wrong in semantics compared to the original sentence
D. The government takes measures to protect wildlife, so that as few animals as possible are in danger. → Wrong is similar to sentence B, because this sentence is asserting that “the government has already taken measures to protect wildlife”
