求教2008prep1里的一个语法知识点

prep1的181的知识补充点说，

If the noun in question is already anexplicitly numerical quantity, then you should useneither"much" nor "many". Instead, you should just use "twice" or "double" by itself.
e.g.,twice the increase--> "increase" is an explicitly numerical quantity

然而在prep1的202
Providing initial evidence that airports are a larger source of pollution than they were once believed to be, environmentalists in Chicago report that the total amount of pollutant emitted annually by vehicles at O’Hare International Airport is twice as much as that which is being emitted annually by all motor vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area.

A.as much as that which is being emitted annually by all

B.as much annually as is emitted by the

C.as much compared to what is annually emitted by all

D.that emitted annually by all(D)

E.that emitted annually compared to the

我对答案没有疑问，只是奇怪为何选项分析里说，twice as much as也是对的。因为从句的主语amount明显是an explicit numerical quantity，用as much as是多余的呀。

求教，不胜感激。
