标题: 请问OG72题

72. The number of undergraduate degrees in engineering awarded by colleges and universities in the United States increased by more than twice from 1978 to 1985.fficeffice" />

(A) increased by more than twice

(B) increased more than two times

(C) more than doubled

(D) was more than doubled

(E) had more than doubled

Choice A is faulty because an adverb such as twice cannot function as an object of the preposition by. B distorts the sentence's meaning, stating that the number of engineering degrees conferred increased on more than two distinct occasions. D's passive verb was ... doubled suggests without warrant that some unnamed agent increased the number of engineering degrees. The past perfect tense in E, had... doubled, is inappropriate unless the increase in engineering degrees is specifically being viewed as having occurred further back in the past than some subsequent event. Choice C is best.

我看了好久的解释，总是无法理解B、D、E的说明，牛人或大侠们能为我详细说明一下这三个选项吗？非常感谢！

我自己也是很菜的，说出我的理解仅供参考：

B:与原文意思有出入，原文是说增加到了比两倍还多的数目，比如：基数是5，那么就增加到了比10多一点。而B的意思是说增加了两倍多，基数是5，那么就增加到了比15还多一些。两者是不一样的。

D是被动语态，这就暗含着是有某个东西采取了措施造成了这个增加。

E用的是完成时，OG的解释很清楚，完成时只有在末个动作发生的某个过去的时间以前，并造成了一些影响的时候才使用。而本题显然不是。
