76. Retailers reported moderate gains in their November
sales, as much because of their sales of a year earlier
being so bad as that shoppers were getting a head
start on buying their holiday gifts.
(A) of their sales of a year earlier being so bad as
that
(B) of their sales a year earlier having been as bad
as because
(C) of their sales a year earlier being as bad as
because
(D) their sales a year earlier had been so bad as
because
(E) their sales of a year earlier were as bad as that

我想问问这个题~~~

答案是D。 错误的E解释是 This makes an incorrect comparison between previous sales and shoppers’ strategies in November.

我没搞懂...这个题究竟是谁和谁的类比？难道不是 sales 和shopper的对比吗？还有， their sales of a yera earlier 和  their sales a year earlier 有什么区别~~~


求救~~~PS：我搜过了，这个题问我这个问题的没有。。。。

paved roads do
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as
paved roads do
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it
does for paved roads
(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as
for paved roads

还有这道题~我的问题是，如果要用D选项的这种表达 。正确的句子应该怎么写？

是不是： maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as  maintaing paved roads does.

如果上述句子我想把maintaing也用一个词给指代了，应该怎么用？  doing？好像不对....纠结了.....

我觉得这道题目更像是并列关系, as much as because....as because....就是说一方面是因为前一年他们的销售额很差，还有一方面就是customers提前抢购节日礼物。而且，sales和shopper是不能够比较的，一个是非实体或是一个数字，而另一个是人。
because their sales of a year earlier觉得怪怪的，a year earlier觉得已经在阐述一个时间了，就好像说their sales in 1998,所以加上 of 好像没必要吧。
等待大家的discussion~~
