小弟求救GWD5-Q14关于比较从句中estimate的省略

OwenBBB

GWD5-Q14:

Even though more money was removed out of stock funds in July as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as an industry trade group had previously estimated.

A. as in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as

B. as had been in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

C. than there was in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as that which

D. than in any month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as

E. than in any other month since October 1987, sales of fund shares in July were not as low as what

key：E

我选的是D。关于any是否补出other，有人认为如果是在同一年里比较，July已经排除，那就可以不补出other。但也有人认为比较范围可能不是同一年里，1987年的October可以在题中所说的July之前，那就必须补上other来排除自身比较。
因此，我觉得any other难以作为判断的区分点，我不理解的问题在于后面，为什么要在as与 a industry....estimated之间加what？prep中有几道例题都是不用what的，而且，用what的话不会有把比较范围扩大的歧义吗？

楼主，我觉得as as比较的是sales of fund shares in July 和 what  an industry trade group had previously estimated.的这个结果，如果不加what ,比较对象就变成了an industry trade group，因此必须是what 从句的内容
不知道对不对

比较对象并不是an industry trade group，而是what 它estimated的那个东西。

D和E，的差别真的很subtle.
E中what的是省略，没有错；关键还是这个any...
well, under some circumstance,it can be right,  say, James' skill is better than any amateur basketball players. Note here James and amateur basketball players do not belong to the same catagory. However, if we compare James with some other professionanl basketplayers, then "any" is required. Say, James' skill is better than any  other professional basketball players.

Same rules applied here.
