GWD-24-Q 20:

According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College and
        University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent
        institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a
        year than those that charge over $16,000.

 

A.    than those that charge

B.    than are charging 

C.    than to charge

D.    as charge

E.     as those charging

选E 吧

请帮我分析下这句话的结构哈！！   怎么看着这么奇怪呢 

还有as。。。as  的用法        呵呵 谢谢诶！！~~

同问

1. idiom  as many as

2. 比较对象要一致

争议题，我选D
比较:
As many of my friends are in New York as (are) here.

GMAT OG10th Sentence Correction 187中有这样一题：

    

In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862,

    four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during

D-Day.

    
当以As开头的比较句，主语是相同类别的，且比较主语的时候，没见过补出第二个 those的。

即使补出 those，变成 Institution和institution charging 8000比较，破坏parrallelism。

这里more than 已经有了，而 as many后无东西，所以用as many as 表达，排除ABC

D主语不同，不能省略

alohabrian

不需要主语相同，只要同类就可以省略。（其实不是可以，是必须）

尤其在以 As many...as句子里.第二个as上从来没出现过 单独的名词。
