改错：John's chance of being elected chairman of the committee is far greater than Mike.
题目解答
答案
原句“John's chance of being elected chairman of the committee is far greater than Mike”存在比较对象不一致的问题。“than”后需补充“Mike's”以保持对等。可将句子改为：
"John's chance of being elected chairman of the committee is far greater than Mike's."
此修改确保“chance”在“than”前后对等，符合比较结构要求。
解析
本题考查比较结构结构中比较对象的一致性。解题思路是判断句子中“than”前后的比较对象是否为同一类事物。在原句“John's chance of being elected chairman of the committee is far greater than Mike”中，“than”前面比较的是“John's chance”（约翰当选委员会主席的机会），而“than”后面是“Mike”（迈克这个人，比较对象不一致。为了使比较合理，“than”后面应该和前面一样，也是关于“机会”的比较，所以需要补充“Mike's”，即“Mike's chance”，这样就保证了比较对象的对等。
