今天做曼哈顿又死在倍数上了
According to the National Science Foundation, in 2003 there were 198,113 female science and engineering graduate students, almost 42% of the graduate students in those fields, twice as much as 1981.
A. twice as much as 1981
B. twice as many as 1981
C. double the figure for 1981
D.double what it was in 1981
E. a number double that of 1981’s
答案是C 我错选了D
请看D 的解释(D) “What it was” is wordy, awkward, and unclear. The singular pronoun "it" has no clear antecedent.

之所以选D是因为以前做过这样一道题
In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States
was nearly twice as fast aS the 1970’s．
(A)twice as fast as
(B)twice as fast as it was in
(C)twice what it Was in
(D)two times faster than that of
(E)two times greater than
答案是C。
同样都是what 引导的
一个对一个错怎么回事

what it was in 1981 what 指示的东西太广了吧，又不是光指代人的
原句是198,113 和 figure 比较

下面那题DE意思变了
A的话比较不平行
BC比较，都有it,难道C更简洁？

好像是不能用fast 来修饰rate 当时有人这样解释
rate increase才能fast

第二题中C最好，其他选项错误太明显，如果其中加一选项：DOUBLE THE RATE IN 此选项更好，
