其他的问题我都明白，就是想问问A D选项中最后的as much as这个用法有错吗，og上都没有提到as much as的问题!求nn解答，O(∩_∩)O谢谢！

as much as是用来比较两个不可数名词的量的，跟题目的意思完全无关。在本题中是个干扰项

This phrasing makes it unclear what the writer is claiming. It appears to indicate that the effect of Akutagawa's knowledge on his development as a writer was due to the fact that both of the aspects of his writing were influenced to the same extent, However, it is implausible to suppose that this is what the writer intends.

这句话的主要着重点是D选项上用as，而正确选项是用的informing，是状语。区别在于，【，V-ing】结构很明显在这句话里是起到状语的结构，是对前句的一个补充说明；而as的话，引导的是状语从句，但是as有一种用法是做because的意思来讲，所以OG说unclear and appears to indicate the meaning "due to"

Furthermore, the comparison is ambiguous: did his knowledge inform his style as much as it informed the content, ox did it inform his style as much as the content informed his style?

这句话，着重点是在as much as上，D选项后半句话是as it informed his literary style as much as the content of his fiction
C选项用both... and的结构，很清楚的表现出是inform both A and B, 也就是说inform的宾语是A和B两者，这点在C里很清楚。然而D却可以有两种解释，
1）as it(指代knowledge) informed his literacy style as much as the content of his fiction (informed) 也就是是knowledge和content of his fiction并列，同时作为informed的主语
2) as it informed his literacy style as much as the content of his fiction 这个就和C选项一致，即而这都作为informed的宾语

尽管后者才是作者真正想表达的意思，但是用as much as会造成理解为第一种的歧义，而且但就这题而言肯定没有both... and来的清晰。所以，最后D被X掉了

引用的时bat斑斑在12年的回答。。鸡油看看吧
