太薄弱了我,

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 

我想问问A错在哪里.请NN帮忙!谢谢!

equal和equivalent to好象都不用来修饰可数名词的

所以只能在DE里选

这里as...as...比较的是people数量吧,所以前后都是名词了,选D

噢~ 比的是people数量, 那么如果改成equivalent to the number of the balabala 是不是就对拉?

equal 和 equivalent表示两个比较对象不仅仅是数量上的相等, 这个语法点在OG上有提到,MM可以去查一下.

equivalent可以说是抽象意义上的相等，而as many as是具体意义上的相等。

噢~ 我明白了,就是说equivalent/ equal语意过于宽泛.谢谢 上面几位.
