1.According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.
(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice
(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing
(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing
(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice（C）
(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

A错在哪呢？

主要问题是 A is xxx times more（或adj./adv.-er） than B是个争议结构
打个比方，a is 3 times faster than b
可以理解成a比b快3倍（即a是b的4倍），或者a是b的3倍
有歧义

还有一个问题，我觉得可以提一下
a选项中，than后面的are有点多余
因为前面graduates are four times more likely结构中没有宾语，不用担心后面的other graduates会有指代错误，
这样的话，那个are确实有点啰嗦。当然这点不一定对，个人之见罢了。
