请教og12-125的double问题

羊的2009

125. Today, because of improvements in agricultural
   technology, the same amount of acreage produces
   double the apples that it has in 1910.

(A)       double the apples that it has

(B)       twice as many apples as it did

(C)       as much as twice the apples it has

(D)       two times as many apples as there were

(E)       a doubling of the apples that it did

Logical predication; Diction; Verb form

The sentence compares the number of apples
   produced today with the number of apples
   produced in 1910. The phrase double the apples is
   not very exact but it could be understood to mean
   twice as many or as many as;

The phrase double the apples is
      not very exact but it could be understood to mean
      twice as many or as many as;为什么会误解成as many as呢？

double也有“一模一样”的意思~例如~
Tony，i met someone at a party last week who was your double~

顶 恍然大悟啊 看了好多帖子说的都是错的
原来double还有复制、重复的意思的

就算DOUBLE有having or made of two things or parts that are equal or similar 由两个相等或相似部分组成的; 双的  的意思也不适用于此吧
