According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

A.   minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

B.    minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

C.   minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

D.   it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

E.    it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

我选的和答案一样是C，但总觉得A也对，请问哪个更好呢，可以从plan的用法判断吗？

有点搞不清楚啊

A。minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice 

1.为什么four times more likey than？

2.than后面为什么是动词are？

再看C

 minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

不能

可以 但是意思會與原題要表達的"4倍"不同

A is four times more likely than B.

表示A的可能性是B的5倍

我找到這句話的原文了, 答案應該是C, 請看以下連結
