(E) as many as are enrolled in
Q1 The phrases equivalent to in A, the equivalent of in B, and equal to in C have too broad a range of meanings to be used precisely here: that is, they can suggest more than merely numerical equality. Also, as quantitative expressions, equivalent and equal often modify nouns referring to uncountable things, as in "an equivalent amount of resistance" or "a volume of water equal to Lake Michigan." To establish numerical comparability between groups with countable members, the phrase as many as is preferable.
A1 OG的意思是这三种说法中“相等”的意思比较宽泛，可以指不仅仅是数量上的精确相等If two things are equal or if one things equal to another , they are the same in size,number,standard,or value.

Q2 The comparison in E, the best choice, is logical because people is understood as the subject of are enrolled.接受工作培训的人和入学的人不是一波人啊?为什么后面不是those are不会造成接受教育的人同时进入大学吗?还是as many as的特别用法?观察中是因为people本身是泛指?且其他成分限制说明了两个people的不同?
下面列举论坛解答三种流派,解释了as的用法,请问那种对?而且没有人能解答我问题中的代词指代问题.
A21关系代词说
波波的课上说than ,as可以当准代词用！所以就把people省了
以下摘自《英语语法新思维》
1.than 可作关系代词引导定语从句，在从句中一般作主语
2.than 前面的主句需有形容词或副词比较级形式
3.than 后面的定语从句可看作省略了先行词和相应的关系代词 Don't give him more money than is needed. = Don't give him more money than money that is needed. = Don't give him more money than what is needed.
4.as 作关系代词相当于which、 that、 who
5.as引导限制性定语从句时，只用在一些固定结构中（the same as, as....as, such.....as, not so....as)
由此可知：
（E）as many as (关系代词, 先行词是people）are enrolled in = as many as people who are enrolled in 所以“The comparison in E, the best choice, is logical because people is understood as the subject of are enrolled”
一点补充：
AS作关系代词用（Used as relative pronoun）
As作为关系代词用，引导定语从句时，先行词可以是一个词，但更为常见的是：它的先行词是整个主句，有时也可以是一个短语。例如： --They took in as many people as could be accommodated in the small motel.
由此句可知在132中因为前句已经提到people故在as many后面省略，第2个as是关系代词修饰people。 --
The two brothers were satisfied with this decision，as was agreed to beforehand?两兄弟对此决定都很满意，这项决定事前已得到他们的同意。（先行词是decision）
He married her，as was natural．他和她结婚了，这是很自然的。（先行词是整个主句）
To shut your eyes to facts，as many of you do，is foolish．视而不见———你们好多人都是如此———是愚蠢的。（先行词是整个不定式短语）
A22成分省略说
关于as/than可以作代词用的说法，我看过的语法书也有这末说的，但我更愿意理解成说是有些成分省略了，这样好象更容易理解一些。这种省略通常发生在比较的中心词一样，而且没有修饰成分。本题就是一例，OG中另有一题我也是这末理解的：
187. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
(A) Americans were killed as
(B) Americans were killed than
(C) Americans were killed than those who
(D) more Americans were killed as there
(E) more Americans were killed as those who
Choice A, the best answer, is the only option that accurately expresses the comparison by using the idiomatic form as many... as. In B and C, as many ... than is unidiomatic, and in C and E, those who is a wordy intrusion. In D and E, more is redundant because the phrase four times as many in the original sentence conveys the idea of more.
A23完整句子说
hi,我的理解是这样的：
8 million people, about as many as are enrolled in 。。。
补全后的形式为：as many (people) as are enrolled in
所谓比较应该是：去掉两个as后仍然是个完整的句子：people are enrolled in....
所以原句并没有省略，是一个完整结构。请参考下面摘自longman电子字典的句子：
There was division among the Roman catholic episcopate as well and as many favoured the system as were against it. 划线部分去掉比较后为两完整句子：
people favoured the system
people were against it
不知我有没有说清楚，请指正请问这种说法对么？偶一直对比较中的比较对象问题不是很清楚，望指教，
Q3加上正确答案后句子的结构如何？about as many as are enrolled in做什么成分？是并列句子吗？有省略吗？不明白那个about的作用
难道就是做大概讲？？好像没它也没什么不可以吧？
A3我也赞同as many as are enrolled .... 是eight million people 的同位语，但是as many as ...似乎看上去是形容词短语? 难道是形容词短语做同位语??
Q3为open question,没有解答的.
