as much as 和……一样
零售商报告说,他们11月份的销售额度适中,这是因为他们之前年度的销售业绩很差,并且购买者提前购买礼物。
题外话:一般情况下,圣诞节前一个月为采购旺季。这算一个背景资料,GMAC没有在题目中给出。

谢谢  查到了 head start 的用法
head start [countable]
1     an advantage that helps you to be successful
give somebody/get/have a head start
Give your children a head start by sending them to nursery school.
2     a start in a race in which you begin earlier or further ahead than someone else

的确是提前的意思

这里as much because ...as because
是用来列举两个并列同等重要的原因吧
