[求助]再问大全40,看了前辈们的解释，还有一个地方不明白

40.     According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation’s four-year colleges and universities.

(A) equivalent to the enrollment of

(B) the equivalent of those enrolled in

(C) equal to those who are enrolled in

(D) as many as the enrollment of

(E) as many as are enrolled in

看了大家和ETS的解释，我觉得也只有选E最好了。但是as many as 在这里是连词吗？后面问什么要跟一个句子，而不是跟一个名词作同位语呢？比如

as many as (people)who are enrolled in行吗？我理解是不是错了？请大家不吝赐教，谢谢！！！

as...as 是连词。

谢谢版主

那如果这么说as many as (people)who are enrolled in行吗？

三脚猫

as many as (people)who are enrolled in,我觉得如果省略了people的话，who指代就不明确。

如果改为as many as people enrolled in......是否正确呢？

或者为兼顾句子的平行，as many as后也应该用句子。

你可以体现 时态？

是are or were?

在这里enrolled in 是过去分词作定语，不用考虑时态吧

我觉得这样说应该可以，好像比用一句话和前面平行还好。因为用名词短语和前面的800 million people平行很合适啊。难道说enrolled in不能这样用？
