GWD-18-Q1
The Arthritis Research Institute ofAmerica advises women of color that they have twice the likelihood to getosteoarthritis of the knee as do White women.

A. that they have twice the likelihood to getosteoarthritis of the knee as do White women
B. that they are twice as likely as White womento get osteoarthritis of the knee
C. that their likelihood of getting osteoarthritisof the knee is twice as much as White women
D. of being twice as likely as White women toget osteoarthritis of the knee
E. of having twice the likelihood of getting osteoarthritis of the knee as White women

正确答案是B选项。
求问各位A选项中的错误是在likelihood还是在倍数的表达上呢？
我记得在XDF上课的时候老师讲过likelihood跟likely的用法一样，那the likelihood to do这种用法不对咩？
另外……搜过版上关于这题的讨论，发现还有一个观点是A选项倍数表达错误。
twice as... as...和twice the +n.的表达是正确的。。
可是twice the + n. as n.这种说法不对吗……如果不对那要怎么表达呢？

谢谢大家啦。

我觉得the likelihood to do不对，应该是the likelihood of /that

A错的原因在于没有the likelihood to 这种用法，只有the likelihood of 还有the likelihood that。而且你不觉得likelihood是likely的名词形式。用likely更简洁
B是对的，因为有be likely to 这种用法而且也平行
不要想怎么改句子，改用法，记住固定用法会用就够了。。。。。

twice as... as...和twice the +n.的表达是常用表达，
twice the + n. as n没有这种混搭表达，你看看as+n，纯属作为的意思。。。。。哪还来的比较的含义
