,as many people (as those who live in cities) live in suburb.
这显然是不正确的。同理,D也是不正确的。这个句子可以用两种习惯方式表达: 1,as many people live in suburb as live in cities. Or, 2, as many people live in suburb as in cities. 所以E是正确答案。 平行省略的原则就是在不产生混淆的情况下能省则省。请看例句: The girl ate as many apples as John.
这句话可以理解成两种意思: 1,The girl ate as many apples as John did.(第二个As后面的主语不能省略因为主语所指不同。一个是“the girl”,一个是“John”。) 2, The girl ate as many apples as (she ate) John.(hehe,她能吃得了几个John呢?第二个AS后面的主语一般也不能省略因为对比的是宾语部分。其实我觉得这里的主语真省了从语法来说也不会产生什么歧义,只不过习惯上不省略。)
但下面的这个例句中恐怕第二个AS后面的主语是要省略的: On sunday, as many girls went to the movies as went shopping.
