More than ever, paper is expected to be recycled this year, due to new mandatory recycling laws in municipalities across the nation. A.More than ever, paper is expected to be recycled this year B.It is expected that more paper than ever will be recycled this year than previously and that is C.The paper expected to be recycled this year is more than ever D.The amount of paper that will be recycled this year is expected to be greater than ever E.A great increase in the mount of paper that will be recycled this year is
when you see a split between more and greater just be cautious
more is too ambiguous (what is more?qualify?amount?prize?) greater is more clear (the amount is greater)
similar case can be found is OG example 125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural technology, the same amount of acreage produces double the apples that it has in 1910. (A) double the apples that it has (B) twice as many apples as it did (C) as much as twice the apples it has (D) two times as many apples as there were (E) a doubling of the apples that it did
choice E a doubling of suffers from the same problem “ not clear”

我刚才把曼哈顿查了一下,5th, page 200,里面明确说到more可以用来形容可数和不可数名词,都表示更多。我觉得OG里面的这个例子跟more不一样,more只能表示更多 - 如果单独形容名词,而doubling只是表示二倍,后面可以是价格,size。。。未必要是数量,因此OG里的这题,E是not clear。我把C反复读了几遍,我觉得C错在时态!如果是paper expected to be recycled,那么后面应该是will be,而不是is。如果把C改成The paper to be recycled this year is expected to be more than ever,我觉得就是可以接受的,甚至比D更好,D不够简洁。
