142. (32496-!-item-!-188;#058&006253)

According to a 1996 study published in the Journal of Human Resources, Americans of Middle Eastern descent were twice as likely as was the national average to be self-employed.

(A) as was the national average to be self-employed

(B) as the average American to be self-employed

(C) as the national average that they would be self-employed

(D) to be self-employed than was the average American

(E) that they would be self-employed than was the national average

介个，看了以前的帖子，还是没弄明白啊
为什么national average表达不清呢？
A错在哪里呢？
来来来 不懂的筒子们跟我一起围观
明白的各位大哥大姐求现身指导

抱拳 先谢过各位了嘿！

national是指哪个nation？china?
A选项的was应该出现应该出现在最后

呃 如果是national 表达不清 这样看倒是可以理解
但是as.....as be .....这样的结构倒是有看到哦 应该不能算错吧？

Americans of Middle Eastern descent were as likely as the national average to be self-employed was
因为as...as前后两个句子要平行，就像and前后的句子一样，I am and are you, 这样句子肯定不对吧？

可能是我没有说清楚
as......as+助动词 是这样的结构我有见过
“正如”倒装（只保留助动词）

385. In its most recent approach, the comet Crommelin passed the Earth at about the same distance and in about the same position, some 25 degrees above the horizon, as will Halley’s comet the next time it appears.

691. The aristocratic values expressed in the writings of Marguerite Yourcenar place her within the French classical tradition, as does her passionate interest in history, particularly Roman history.

在这里这条法则好像不合适

我又把题目仔仔细细读了几遍，觉得这里应该是一个主语的比较，这里是一个主系表的结构，省略了谓语动词好像也不会产生误会。

现在我大概是这样理解的，请指正。
