单选题 However, many businessmen are active Democrats for reasons ______ economic ones--such as religion, national, racial, or geographic origin, or specific policy issues.

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】句意：许多商人都是积极活跃的民主党人，其理由与其说是经济的，不如说是宗教、民族、种族、地区或特定的政治问题。rather than这里是reasons和economic ones之比。Such as后面都是举例说明reasons。
