GWD1-Q38新汇总的22套无重题里的关于double

***bGWD1-Q38:

Retail sales rose 8/10 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

1. that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of

2. that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double

3. of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it more than doubled

4. of personal spending in the July-September quarter, more than doubling that of

5. of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of

呵呵， 动词不能用比较级吗？

How about " I ran faster than you. "

谢谢！就是想不明白would more than double这个形式

谁能指导一下B选项的这个比较？

其实more than double是一种固定的表达方式

ps在gmat中，double主动，不会被动

句意表述:零售业绩在八月份增长1%的8/10,(前面这个事实)加强了预期

预期了什么事咧?用that做进一步解释,表示7-9月这季的个人消费将会double于早先的个人消费的1.4%

至于为何使用would是因为expectations表示预期但未必一定发生

OG12里有这题，不过选项与GWD的稍有出入：D选项没有逗号

Retail sales rose 8/10 of 1 percent in August, intensifying expectations that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of the 1.4 percent growth rate in personal spending for the previous quarter.

A.      that personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubled that of

B.      that personal spending in the July-September quarter would more than double

C.      of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it more than doubled

D.      of personal spending in the July-September quarter more than doubling that of

E.       of personal spending in the July-September quarter, that it would more than double that of

这题中，OG12给出的解题点是：　The sentence explains the expectations that resulted from a past retail sales trend.since expectations look to the future but are not yet realized,the relative clause explaining these expectations should be conditional, employing the auxiliarty verb would.

即，OG12认为，虚拟语气的使用在这里是必不可少的。

另外，对于选项D，给出的解释是：Althogh this option is not technically worng, it is less clear and graceful than B.

没有GWD中的逗号后，OG12认为D选项是没有问题的，只是没有B选项优。

如果按OG12解释more than doubling that of 就也是正确的，只是没有优于more than double，

那么这种固定表达的说法是不是需要斟酌呢？
