OG12 SC 125 疑惑中，请赐教！

sullivan215

125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural
technology, the same amount of acreage produces
double the apples that it has in 1910.
(A) double the apples that it has
(B) twice as many apples as it did
(C) as much as twice the apples it has
(D) two times as many apples as there were
(E) a doubling of the apples that it did

本题答案是B.
想问问哪位大N知道为何OG对E的解释是：
A doubling of the apples is awkward and, when joined with that it did, suggests doubling the apples themselves, not the amount of apples.

为什么这里说是“suggests doubling the apples themselves”，应该怎样理解才对呢？请赐教~！

这个Ron已经在论坛上明确表示，这是一个疏忽，新版的Manhattan会取消这个论断的。

原话是： One of the prime uses of helping verbs in parallel constructions is to express the same verb in a different tense. ... If you use "did/do/does/etc." to stand for an action verb, then it can be parallel to any tense of that action verb.

1. 新问题！！【关于TWICE的位置】已知正确选项B,错误选项C：
   
2. B. twice as many apples as it did
   
3. C. as much as twice the apples it has
   
4. 
   
5. C中使用”much"明显是错的，若将C改正为
   
6. as many as twice the apples it did
   
7. 是对的吗？
   
8. 现在C与正确答案B的区别就是twice 的位置不同。

个人拙见，twice是副词不能直接修饰名词
B选项，twice修饰的是many，为adv.修饰adj.， 而经你改过的c选项，twice修饰的是the apples，不符合副词修饰原则。

我这么理解的~~~共同讨论哟~

靠语感选出正确答案，和把别人讲懂，是两回事。
我们练习的题目，全是retired questions，没有任何一道题会出现在真实考试当中。
练习的时候语感好，20s做对，谁有能保证考试那么紧张的情况下也能有那么好的预感？
或者，练习的时候，花20s时间排除了A/C/D/E，真正考试时，那些干扰选项不像这么长，换了个长相，又怎么办？

我觉得这里讨论的同学都很赞，他们中我相信有很多人选对了答案，但是大家相互探讨，追求的是怎么理解OG这句拗口的话，甚或遇到类似选项类似题目怎么办.....

我们现在花5分钟、10分钟、半小时甚至更长时间，彻底弄懂这个结构怎么回事，那么下次一看到这个题目，直接潜意识就知道该往哪个选项瞅：
doubling the quantity/number of sth (countable).
或者twice as many as sth (countable).
然后再扫一眼其它选项，就能选对了
整个过程within 10 sec

Just my two cents..

baby姐，我想请教一下， 像 double 这种 属于idioms吗？     我记得 RON 说 idioms 类型的， 一般GMAT不太着重去考察
