这个问题也困扰我好久了，真不知道怎么就前后混在一起比较了，72. A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.
(A)as compared to households where the
(B)as there are households where the
(C)as those whose
(D)than compared to those where the
(E)than there are whose
A: compared to和前面的as…as结构重复
B: correct
C: whose grandparents 和前面不对称
D: than和前面不对称
E: 同上
我怎么看这个题目都没有正确答案。B里面究竟是怎么个比较结构？
A as many as B ?
as many A as B ？
怎么感觉这个题目是两个的混合那。there are 在 第一个as的前面，household where。。。在as many后。怎么这么乱呀？
as many 。。as的比较对我怎么那么难，每次都回做错。总找不到比较对象。请高手指教一下呀！！！
as many household as household
只有B最工整
as many household as household
只有B最工整
there are households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home. 好像发现PREP上的比较和平行和OG上相比都不是很工整，比如下面这个题目： A recently published report indicates that the salaries of teachers continue to lag far behind other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $ A. other college-educated professionals, because they make an average of nearly $ B. other college-educated professionals, by an average of nearly $ C. what other college-educated professionals are paid—making an average of nearly $ D. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $ E. those of other college-educated professionals—by an average of nearly $ A: salaries 和professionals比较错，they指代有歧义 B: 同上 C: what are paid=salaries 啰嗦 D: by an average … to almost $24000 less 不平行 E: correct 我觉得E这个答案也是牵强的平行。和OG上的实在不象。难道这就是SC现在的最新风格？？

there are households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.
**质疑:
我觉得最好用"there are XX times as many (n.) as........":
as many as很少有直接放一起连接前后对比用的(没见过). 另外,如果这样用,后边就不能用句子了,就得和households这单个词做比较了.
请NN指教
B应该是最佳答案 但是)as there are households where the
其中为什么有个 there are 呢
请高人指点下
谢谢哦

虽然这个勉强选对了，但说服不了自己。。。。。。只能用排除法

more than three times as many
households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as there are
households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.
这个是主谓宾全的比较结构，最清晰的比较方法就是象正确选项一样把前后的主谓宾结构写全。
要注意GMAT的比较结构的最大原则是意思清晰，而不是省略。而且对于 there be 句型的比较，一般都是结构完整的比较形式。

89. A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.
(A) there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were
(B) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were
(C) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were
(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one micro?computer, four times as many than there were
(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcom?puter, four times as many as
Choices A, B, and C appropriately use the construction "one X for every thirty-two Y's" to describe the ratio of computers to pupils, but only C, the best answer, is error-free. In A, are does not agree with the subject, one microcomputer; furthermore, in A, B, and D, than is used where as is required. Choices D and E reorder and garble the "one X ..." construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils.
至于A as many as B 与 as many A as B 的问题，其实是一个 A do B as many as C do 和 A do as many B as C do 的差异问题。
通常比较多的是 A do B as many as C do 这种形式，但是A do as many B as C do 这个也是对的，请看ＯＧ例题：

168. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did
Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location. E is illogical: since that refers to a doubling, E nonsensically asserts that the doubling occurred in 1910.

156. Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strained townships point out that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.
(A) dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads
(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads
(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as for paved roads
This sentence compares the costs required to maintain two kinds of roads. B, the best choice, is able to maintain parallelism in the comparison as well. Choice A incorrectly shifts the meaning by comparing the cost of dirt roads with the cost of maintaining paved roads. Choice C does the opposite: it compares the cost of maintaining dirt roads with the cost of paved roads themselves. Choice D further confuses the sentence by adding a nonparallel clause, it does for, in which it has no clear referent. Choice E introduces the infinitive phrase to maintain... and wrongly attempts to complete the comparison with the nonparallel prepositional phrase for....

说说我的解体思路，呵呵
as many as 排除DE

A compare to 和 as many as 重复
crowkiller 我想请教一个问题
A recent national study of the public schools shows that there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were four years ago
这里面为什么使用 there were??呢 不是补出后应该是 there were one microcomputer for every 8 pupils four years ago??
首先，比较的对象是什么？看懂意思的话，很显然，是在比较两个“比率”（RATIO）.
由C的比较结构看，就是在比较这个比率，即there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were (microcomputers for pupils) four years ago.
如果按照你理解的，4年前比现在拥有的计算机更多：现在是32个人一个，4年前8个人一个。这个合理么？
同意你的说法，应该是1 computers for every 128 pupils
我想问问如果补全的话，应该怎么写呢？
there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were (microcomputers for pupils) four years ago.
其实这里的单复数我觉得不是主要的。
用 four times as many as there was the ratio (或者one microcomputer for every 128 pupils）four years ago.
或者 four times as many as there were microcomputers for pupils
four years ago. 都可以

thank you really very much
A - compared to is unnecesary. Coz u
know, "compared to" is another idiom for comparison which is useless
since there is an idiom as.... as to compare already.
B - Correct.. correctly uses as ... as idiom and
compares "households" precisely.
C - Households are compared to "children and
grandchildren"
D,E - than is a wrong idiom for as... than
omitting "there are"; you would indeed get a grammatically correct
sentence that way.
sentence would be extremely awkward and difficult to read.
So, What we learn from this SC question is that:
Both
as many x... as y..
and
there are as many X…. as there are Y…
are perfectly correct.
