OG蓝皮书SC-Q85-----关于equal与equivalent的区别？？？

fgh67743185

According to a study by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, companies in the United States are providing job training and general education for nearly eight million people, about equivalent to the enrollment of the nation's four-year colleges and universities.

A. equivalent to the enrollment of
B. the equivalent to those enrolled in
C. equal to those who are enrolled in
D. as many as the enrollment of
E. as many as are enrolled in


正确答案--E ，我选择了C
OG说equal不能修饰可数名词，那equivalent可以吗？这两个词的区别在哪里啊？还有就是E选项里as many as后面的主语可以省吗？总觉得不是同一群人呐？？C除了修饰错误还有哪里错了？

查过oxford 上面说 equal和equivalent 用作adj.时其实是一个意思，都用来修饰uncountable nouns而 as many as修饰 countable nouns 如 people  （c）应该就equal to 有问题，（e）的话应该省略了people，指不同的两类人。求大N指正！！！

C是肯定不对的

c的错误在于 eight million 是不能equal to people的 自然也不能equal to those 要写成equal to the number of those 但 equal to也是不能用于可数名词的 所以c怎么改都对不了

排除法 就只能选e了
