A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents’ home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children’s or grandchildren’s home.

(A)as compared to households where the

(B)as there are households where the

(C)as those whose

(D)than compared to those where the

(E)than there are whose

为什么选(B)，为什么会有there are，还有(A)为什么不对？谢谢

as many as，第二个as跟前面的是一体，A的as跟后面是一体。

B，there are more than three times as many households where ... as there are households where...比较词的前后对应完美。

A的as跟后面是一体的是指as compared to是一个词组？

as...as本来就是比较的意思;

as...as compared to有redundant之嫌;

而且,compared to是将...比作的意思

要比较,也用compare A with B
