求问prep09 test2 146题～

The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.


(A) extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
(B) extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
(C) extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
(D) extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had
(E) extinction, now with numbers five times greater than
求问我对此题还是不够清楚，我看正确选项A的时候就直接将其排除，因为觉得它是数量跟时间在比较，但是想一想，后面也可以直接省略了its numbers are when they blabla～但是我一直这样选下来首先就挑了E选项，觉得它读下来逻辑还挺通，语法笔记说它with的发动者是那个f鸟是逻辑表达不对，这个我看不出来，求解释～～也有说with和前面的with extinction平行有歧义，这个在快速读题时我真没看出来～～

with is poorly used here


but I think the main issue is illegal comparison


now five times greater than when.....(that is fine)


but the comparison in E is wrong
