问题 Indeed, it is arguable that body shattering is the very point of football, as killing and maiming______. (2018-16)

选项 A、war
B、are war
C、of war
D、are of war

答案 D

解析比较结构的省略。根据句意，本句的完整结构为：Indeed，it is arguable that body shattering is the very point of football，as killing and maiming are the very point of war．我们知道，当主句主语和as-分句主语不同而比较项目相同时，as-分句总是有所省略，如：John behaves as politely as Bob(does)．但是，如果两个主语相同而比较项目不同(如：The girl is as brilliant as she is beautiful．)，或者，两个主语和两个比较项目都不同(如：His uncle was as base as his father had been upright．)，as-分句便不能使用省略句，而必须使用“完全句”(即包括至少一个完整的主谓结构的句子)。由此，此处主句主语body shattering和as-分句中主语killing and maiming不同，比较对象也不同，分别为the very point of football 和the very point of war，故不能省略as-分句中的谓语动词are。此外，如果两个并列名词词组的中心词相同，而后置修饰语不同，可以通过省略而形成两个后置修饰语共享一个中心词的现象，如Ambition is the mother of destruction as well as (the mother)of evil．于是此句as-分句中的the very point可以省略，后置修饰语of war保留，与of football共享中心词the very point。故本题答案为D。
