prep中的CEO's pay题 - 请教as compared to的用法(未解决）

想请教prep一道题正选中, 关于 as compared to 的使用.

A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times in 1980.

A.       that CEO’s now earn an average of 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, compared to a ratio of 42 times
B.       that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, a ratio that compares to 42 times
C.       that, on average, CEO’s now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
D.       CEO’s who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio
E.       CEO’s now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, compared to the ratio of 42 times

正选为C. 我同意compare在这里需要用被动语态, 也同意这个对比是平行的 (419 times the pay of blue-collar workers 和 42 times their pay)

我的问题在于as compared to的使用. As在这里我如果理解正确是作连词引领比较状语从句, 省略了主语和系动词be. 但这种省略的前提是状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致, 而419 times在主句是作为宾语而不是主语.

个人可以理解compared to, 但对于使用as compared to 存在疑虑. Ron在给出这个idiom指出as是可省的, 而我认为这个as省或不省有上述的区别. 希望各位指教.

谢谢回复. 但不好意思我还是不理解给出的解释：

”第一个as compared to相当于when compared to，与其说是比较专用，我更喜欢把它理解成状语从句。“
---when compared to, 状语从句修饰最近的动词earn, 省略的话从句主语要和主句主语一样都是CEO's.

“as compared to/with中as指代前面整句的核心含义：
A recent review of pay scales indicates that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar workers, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio in 1980.”

---as可以指代前面整句的核心含义的依据是什么? as可以引领独立句子时可以对比两个句子, 但是在这题里as引领的是noun phase.
