1.        
American productivity is declining in relation to
Europe’s; the energy expended per unit of production in the United States is as
much as twice that expended in West Germany.

    

(A) as much as twice
that expended in West Germany

    

(B) as much as twice
that of West Germany’s expenditure

    

(C) up to two times
of West Germany’s expenditure

    

(D) up to two times
what West Germans expended（A）

    (E) up to double the West German expenditure

答案是A， 为什么D不可以？另外， 如何区别twice and two times. 多谢。

two times 如果没有很特殊的情况，在GMAT比较结构中总是错的，我觉得D two times 改成twice就对了，其实我对A也有疑问，常见的应该是twice as much as ，哪位NN解答一下！
