问OG92

-Joe-

92. Never before had taxpayers confronted so many changes at once as they had in the Tax Reform Act of
1986.
(A) so many changes at once as they had in
(B) at once as many changes as
(C) at once as many changes that there were with
(D) as many changes at once as they confronted in
(E) so many changes at once that confronted them in

答案是D

如果将A的had变为did，大家认为正确吗

个人看法:

即使将A的had变为did, 也不能清楚的指明did就是confronted.

我的理解是:

比较的是confront的changes,而不是confront 这个动作的比较，所以应该把they confront  补出来,这样不会产生歧义.即使是A中的had也同样比较的是动作,而不是confront这个动作所面临的changes.

不知这样理解对否??

补充一下:

d中应该在they confronted前面省略了changes

请nn们指正!

我觉得有道理。

好像放在as many as 中间的宾语changes，就可以做前后两句共同的宾语。对么？
