[General] Switzerland but my country, Australia, is much worse than I thought.

Hello,

I have this sentence in my book:

"Switzerland but my country, Australia, is much worse than I thought."

Could you give a hit which is "my" country and which is "worse" because for me the logical consequence of the original phrase can mean both things. I think the key is in the punctuation but at the moment I don't understand it.

Denis.

Can you give us the whole sentence, please?

Unfortunately it is a single sentence. In the exercise there are six sentences in order from A to F but they don't have any logical consistency. The task was to find a mistake with comparative and superlative forms. I've found the mistake, it was "worser" and the correct form is "worse". So formarlly the task is complete but I don't understand the sense of the mentioned sentence.

The whole original sentence is:
[h=2]Switzerland but my country, Australia, is much worser than I thought. [/h]

Unfortunately, it isn't a complete sentence. Switzerland IS SOMETHING but my country is worse.

Australia is the author's country and it is "worse" at whatever is omitted than Switzerland.

What is missing is very important to the sense of the sentence.
