There are hopeful signs that we are shifting away from our heavy reliance on fossil fuels: more than ten times as much energy is generated through wind power now than it was in 1990.

(A) generated through wind power now than it was
(B) generated through wind power now as it was
(C) generated through wind power now as was the case
(D) now generated through wind power as it was
(E) now generated through wind power than was the case
第一步排除A.E,因为as...as结构,而非as...than结构 这里有帖子说as the case在比较结构中的使用的。我选择C是因为觉得it没有合理的指代对象。as was the case是倒装结构,应该是as the case was,但是这里我觉得用倒装整个句子结构平行一致,非常漂亮 偶的拙见,请NN指正
这样解释好了 more than ten times as much energy is generated through wind power now as was the case。。。。 比较的对象是是energy is generated through wind power now和energy is generated through wind power in the 1900 ,用case 非常的灵活的表达了这个意思 it的话就让人不太明白
