感觉that并不是指代东西,而是指向性词(不知有没有这种词语,囧!!) ,只是表明这个number是前面的那个number

同意~

from Manhattangmat:
Choice (b) conveys this idea accurately, with the phrase "twice that number". See, "that number" must refer to an actual number cited in the sentence, and there is only one such number.

因为原句中的THe容易让认为twice了的是1929年的number，而用that指代就清楚了
