Thegyrfalcon, 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 sharplyrestricted in the early 1970's. .
a)       extinction; its numbers are now five times greaterthan
b)       extinction;its numbers are now five times[url=]more than[/url]
c)        extinction,[url=]their[/url]  numbers now fivefold what they were  
d)       extinction,now with fivefold the numbers [url=]they had[/url]  
此题答案为A,想问B选项more than和its numbers 搭配为什么不对?

另外,twice as many as在GMAT里是不是算作redundant?还是说在有些情况下也是可以用的?
谢谢回复!

给亲看一道OG2016版的新题:
A long-term study of some 1000 ogysicians indicates that the more coffee these doctors drank, the more they had a likelihood of coronary disease.A  more they had a likelihood of coronary disease
B more was their likelihood of having coronary disease
C more they would have a likelihood to have coronary disease
D greater was their likelihood of having coronary disease
E greater was coronary disease likely.
这道题选D,ABC都错在用了More,more代表的是quantity,而greater代表的是一个degree,也就是程度

举两个例子 集合A{ 1,2,3,4,5},集合B{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
那么 集合B的numbers are MORE than those of A ,因为A有5个数字, B有8个数字,B的数字“个数”比A 多
如果A=5,B=8 ,那么 B is greater than A ,因为 B的“数值” 比A 大。
那么大概意思就体现出来了。
greater 和 more 的不同在于,当你相比较“数值”的大小时,你用greater,当你想比较“个数”或者“数量”的多少时,你用more。当然这并不全面,毕竟more可以修饰不可数,但是意思是一致的。同时还有例如likelihood 等词汇也是使用 great。这些词汇你要自己总结,去搜索,不过常见的就是数值与数量的区别。

there are more birds, not more numbers,我们说数目大,不说数目多

认真体会下句意,你会发现是强调数字本身的大小,用greater适合。
