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

不行了...B 太平行了我无法不选它啊...其实B是不是根本不通的？还原过来是：double the number of the increase 是么
但想请教 of the previous year 和 in the previous year 在这题里有什么区别，感谢

yes

the increase in X   =      X is increasing


the increase of X = the increase is in X (but X is not the one that increases）

B选项，感觉That的使用无指代对象，也是不对的；对于the increase in previous year是指previous year的增长(这肯定是不合逻辑的)，而不是在previous year增长，应该用 the increase of the previous year。同LS啦。。。。
