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

是B
OG解釋A只錯在has沒改成had
請問: A除了has改成had外 double的文法有錯嗎 如果有錯要怎樣改呢?

double the amount of apples it did(produced ) in 1910
数量对比，double the apples 是数量还是质量还是体积呢 without logical sense

我问美国朋友A的错误，他们告诉我说twice更加强调数量，double没有很明确的双倍的数量的含义。
还举了个例子给我说如果一个公司说double the profit，it's not exactly twice as many as the profit
但是如果一个公司说twice as many as the profit，I can let them show me the data to prove it's EXACTLY twice.
