请教版主，“天蝎座1107”一个语法问题（OG11-4）

A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy, twice as much as 1977.

(A) twice as much as 1977                                       

(B) twice as many as 1977                                      

(C) double what it was in 1977                                 

(D) double the figure for 1977                                  

(E) a number double that of 1977's

OA：D

这道题知道为什么选择D，只是在看到“天蝎座1107”mm写的prep总结中关于what从句的部分时，引出如下想法，想向天蝎座mm和版主求证一下： 

OG给的解释是what it was awkward. 我觉得还有一个问题就是
                what it was. 中的it没有指代，因为前面说的是female ministers 是复数，如果把it改成they 即double what they were in 1997，且同时没有
                double the figure for 1977这个选项时，且按照effectiveness考虑的话是不是就正确了？

自己顶！

149. Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.

(A)  so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did

(B)  so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those

(C)  as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those

(D)  as fast as, and in some parts even faster than,
                those

(E)  as fast as, and in some parts even faster than
                what they did

OA：D

恩，应该选D的

我有两个问题请教：

1、 double the figure for 1977，在句子中是什么成分？

2、 double在这里是动词吧？ 时态对吗？

我的问题沉下去了，顶！NN帮个忙吧！
