The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990, doubling the increase of the previous year.

A. doubling the increase of

B. doubling that of the increase in

C. double as much as the increase of

D. twice as many as the increase in

E. twice as many as the increase of

答案是A，我选了B，有点混乱


还有求证一下DE，我是这么理解的：
DE the number of people as many as the increase不对称！与原文意思不同，原句是说，1990年乘 first class 增加的人数是前一年增加人数的两倍， DE是说1990年乘 first class 的人数是前一年增加人数的两倍

不知道是不是这样啊？？？？

没人理我

C错误在于double和as many as连用。D错在the increase是单数，用as many as修饰错误。B错在the increase in x 和 the increase of x意思有差别。 "the increase in x"means that x iteself has increased.therefore ,"the increase in the previous year "doesn 't make sense。because the implication would be that the previous year itself had increased        "the increase of 'time period ' means exactly what it should mean in this particular instance . share with you论坛上有语法笔记，这个就是，如果你需要，发站内信给我，我发给你

D错在the increase是单数，用as many as修饰错误
嘿嘿。。。。没发现这个错误，多谢指教
B错在the increase in x 和 the increase of x意思有差别。
这个还不是很明白？？

lz，我也選了B，後來想了想，應該是因為that沒有正確的指代對象吧

DE中，increase並不是可數名詞，不應該用many修飾

"the increase in x"means that x iteself has increased.therefore ,"the increase in the previous year "doesn 't make sense。because the implication would be that the previous year itself had increased        "the increase of 'time period ' means exactly what it should mean in this particular instance
请问the increase in X 与increase of time period 有什么区别吗？如果用改为doubing the increase in the previous year 表达的是1990的增加量是1989年增加量的两倍吗, 错在哪里呢？？
