完全没有头绪的一道题

lllmmm

The number of people flying first class on domestic flights rose sharply in 1990,  ---------------- 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
这道题好像ACDE都对啊，完全没有头绪

labellor

不是NN

C. double => verb 應該用分詞構句doubling
D. twice同位結構要緊靠N,many原句中沒可數可用, the increase "in" the previous year語意錯
E. 同上

A?

open to discuss

winzero

我也感觉是A 同意楼上

volcanobird

A  是对的。 in the previous year 不如of the previous year. 这里用as much as 和as many as 都错。前者 much 不能和可数的人对应，后者many 对应number也是错的。

tuscan

A是正确答案，这道题出现在语法笔记中。
