这道题，找到原先的一个帖子，但是还是没有看懂，请教大家啦，谢谢！！语法太混乱啦～～
首先，as..as.. 句型不是很清楚，as 为什么接there are 呢？我选的C 。还有，这道题也可以用compared with吧? 如果有选项的话？

顶！

根据未划线部分判断，应该是个as many... as ... 的句型，排除D/E

as many...as 已经表示比较，若再加compared to, redundancy排除A

根据句意，关系代词应该用where 排除C

There are as many apples as (there are) organs.

哈！谢谢啦！我想在问下，为什么加“there are "呢？我省略总是搞不明白

一般好像省略的比较多。

这道题其他选项都不对，只能选B。

从gmac的角度看，是为了增加难度吧

Quote:
A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's
home.
(A) as compared to households where the
(B) as there are households where the
(C) as those whose
(D) than compared to those where the
(E) than there are whose

idioms used to compare here are,
1) more x than y
2) as many x... as y..

as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's

A - compared to is unnecesary. Coz u know, "compared to" is another idiom for comparison which is useless since there is an idiom as.... as to compare already.

B - Correct.. correctly uses as ... as idiom and compares "households" precisely.

C - House holds are compared to "children and grandchildren"

D,E - than is a wrong idiom for as... than
