now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.

(A) extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than

(B) extinction; its numbers are now five times more than

(C) extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were

(D) extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had

(E) extinction, now with numbers five times greater than

这道题选A，各位给看看，这样平行么？！

后面有when，这个结构是可以的。此题考的不是平行对称结构。当然，一上来会认为可能考平行对称结构吧，但其他几项都很容易排除。先排除C和D，用复数肯定不对。再排除E，with numbers的修饰对象变成extinction了。剩下的A和B，也都不没有平行对称结构，就在greater和more里面选了。

谢谢！很清楚，是因为with就近成为extinction的状语所以就不对是吧。谢谢！
