Our concern about our fellow men extends only as far as our pocketbook or our discomfort.
书上句子。
1)句末是否省略了和前面相同的谓语动词extends?即:
Our concern about our fellow men extends only as far as our pocketbook or our discomfort (extends)?
2) 该省略的谓语动词extends可以用does替代吗?即:
Our concern about our fellow men extends only as far as our pocketbook or our discomfort (does) ?
3)是否意味着这种类型的(as...as)比较分句,如果分句的谓语动词和前面相同,在这种情况下,既可以省略,也可以不省略,或可以用do,does,did等替换,我对此特别有困惑。
4)对于所有的as...as这种类型的句子,都认为是比较分句,而非定语从句, 对吗?
