Ellipsis governs rule for when we can acceptably omit words in a sentence and still retain a clear meaning .In the case of verbs (or verb forms), the rule is that it is ok to omit the second verb if it is same as the first .

Correct :- New York is a large and an exciting city.

No need to say : "New York is a large and is an exciting city."

Hope that helps.
Thanks & Regards,

It is very often tested in COMPARISON.

My book is better than that of Karim.

I am taller than Karim.

--> I am taller than Karim is.

Ellipsis are nothing more than "helping verbs", which are used to remove ambiguity from the sentence.
Consider the example here:

I am taller than my brother.
I could have written the same sentence as "I am taller than my brother is", but I dont require an extra "is" in last because the original sentence is clear and unambiguous.

I know more about Shakespeare than my brother.
The above sentence has 2 meaning:
1. I know more about Shakespeare than my brother knows.
2. I know more about Shakespeare than I know about my brother.

So, to remove ambiguity from the above sentence, I will use "Helping verbs".
