我觉得应该从语义上理解, "等于或者大于250报纸被出版" 不是日常的读法。
而且as many as 250 newspapers 其实就是 250 newspapers。
gmat语法中这种结构的确算wordy的。

A. for monitoring of population changes of as many as, or of
B. to monitor population changes of as many, or
C. to monitor changes in the populations of
D. that monitors population changes of
E. that monitors changes in populations of as many as, or
og解释：“Neither A nor B produces the idiomatic phrase "... as many as, or more than, 250 ..."--a phrase that would be needlessly wordy here.”
