202.Providing initial evidence that airports are a larger source of pollution than they were once believed to be, environmentalists in Chicago report that the total amount of pollutant emitted annually by vehicles at O’Hare International Airport is twice as much as that which is being emitted annually by all motor vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area.

A.     as much as that which is being emitted annually by all
B.     as much annually as is emitted by the
C.     as much compared to what is annually emitted by all
D.     that emitted annually by all         
E.     that emitted annually compared to the

正确答案是D。这个that不应该是指前面的the total amount么，emitted annually修饰的应该是pollutant啊，怎么能修饰amount呢？

这里是as..as的平行  这里是 主语(the total amount of pollutant)+is +as...as...+主语+(be 省略)     

boalgmat

也就是说 比较的是主语

再补充一道题 PREP08 2#222

In 1914 a total of 469,000 cars and trucks were produced in the United States, but in 1929 almost twice the numbers of trucks alone came off the assembly lines.

A.        the numbers of trucks alone
B.        that number of trucks alone
C.        the number of trucks by themselves
D.        as many trucks themselves        
E.        as many trucks by themselves

答案是B，也是同样的问题。后面句子的主干是number came off lines。

irisa听话

我也想问同样的问题 D的that难道是指the total amount of pollutant? 不然的话比较对象就有歧义了哎 谁能回答吗？
