1 B is faulted,because "forbid sb.from ding..."is unidiomatic.Instead A employs an idiomatic form "forbid sb/sth." and "a strike " in A is more specific without ambiguity ,thus A is the best answer.
2 In this case,"flat" is a modifier of "be packed" as an adverb.
3 Although "what" sometimes can act as a noun,it has not specific referent in B.
B also viaolats the parallel form "the rate ..better than the rate...",so A is preferable ,which applies "that" rather than "what" to complete such form.

B,the rate of increse与it 并列,was 与was 并列,in the 1980's 与 in the 1970's平行,很工整.作者: tocean0222 时间: 2003-2-27 12:21
Chioces D and E are faulted,because "twice" is preferable to "two times" for presenting accumulated quantities or examples;also,a period of time,such 1970's cannot be the subject of "the rate".Since the subject of this sentence is "the rate",a pronoun is acquired to complete this comparative form beginning with "twice/two times".Thus A and E are false.And C shifts the meaning by using "what",which is without a specific referent, to replace "as fast as",so it is not the correct answer.Only B,the best one I think would be,not only idiomatically uses the proper comparative form "twice as fast as " to compare the rates of increace of population in two periods,but also precisely and unambiguouly conveys the intended meaning of the sentence by substituting "it was" for "the rate was".
The explanation above is merely for reference!Tks!
