Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as the current one.

• 
  
  equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as
• 
  
  equally likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
• 
  
  equally likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
• 
  
  as likely that they will exceed the proposed speed limit as
• 
  
  as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are
  
  

想求教各位大神为啥正确答案是e 不是a呢？多出来的they are 我觉得不是很有必要呀在这里。真心求教！
顺便想问下比较级里面的省略 是否是比较级之后相同的成分就可以省略？

来自于helr的解析
A equall和as...as...均表示与...相同，但不能用equally...as；此外在语义上A是drivers与the current one（指代speed limit）比较，二者没有可比性
E项的they are是省略过的，原句是Traffic safety officials predict that drivers will be as likely to exceed the proposed speed limit as they are (likely to exceed) the current one.
