The answer is choice C. Can anyone explain what wrong with choice A or B is?

Thanks ^o^

以下是引用Snazzy在2003-12-29 15:01:00的发言:
1, 2 times = double
2, 3 times = triple
3, 4 times = quadruple


I know that "2 times = double", "3 times = triple" and so on. My question is that I don't know the problem with choice A and B。Why they are wrong?

Thanks!

你可以说increase by 100%或者具体的数目,但是不能说increase by twice 或者two times.

increase by+名詞(因為by是介詞) two times有歧異~可能是double的意思~也可能是兩次的意思
