Freehorser

1.        American productivity is declining in relation to Europe’s; the energy expended per unit of production in the United States is as much as twice that expended in West Germany.

(A) as much as twice that expended in West Germany

(B) as much as twice that of West Germany’s expenditure

(C) up to two times of West Germany’s expenditure

(D) up to two times what West Germans expended（A）

(E) up to double the West German expenditure

正确答案是A.我选的是D. A中" as much as twice that...."表达正确吗? 难道不应该改成"twice as much as"? D又错在哪儿呢? 希望达人们不吝赐教

Ａ中不能理解为as much as twice that因为that 是指代前面的the energy 的，应理解为

as much as twice that expended in West Germany

D中的energy 不能用up 修辞而应该用much
