og-132, 谢谢

132. 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 of 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

我的问题:
我想as many as 是与前面eight million people做比较.
那么后面也应该用名词 符合平行结构呀, 怎么用了从句.

如果还有一个选项: as many as those enrolled in

那么应该选哪个呢? 还是两个都对?

1、当然选E,the enrollment of the nation's .......这种结构是不正确的。

2、比较的对象是people,有什么疑问吗？

首先谢谢回复.
我的问题是: 既然比较对象是people, 那么为什么as many as 后面用从句, 而没有直接用名词those,
也就是我的疑惑,
如果是as many as those enrolled in

那么与答案e :as many as are enrolled in
相比, 又该选哪个呢? 还是两个都对?

为什么在这里可以用名词与句子相比较, 而不是名词与名词呢?

"as many as those enrolled in" 不对. 我猜你把比较结构跟平行结构搞混了.

我觉得比较结构该是两个句子比较, 也就是 AS MANY AS 后理论上说应是个句子, 正确的答案把句子的主语省略了.

我刚才的解释好象不合理.

如果AS MANY AS THOSE ENROLLED IN.., THOSE指代谁,是PEOPLE 还是 EIGHTY PEOPLE?
如果说不清,就不对了. 这个合理些吗?

首先ABC的比较对象都不对，再就是比较对象是PEOPLE，但是这里的E把PEOPLE给省略了，因为比较从句的主语与主句的主语相同时可以省略！
并不是名词和句子比较，而是名词与名词比较，这里省略了比较从句的主语和引导词啊！

如果两个答案放一起的话，我还是选E
因为those会产生指代模糊。

to donna:

那么你认为, 两种用法都可以了? 既可以直接加名词, 也可以加句子?
