72. The number of undergraduate degrees in engineering awarded by colleges and universities in the United
States increased by more than twice from 1978 to 1985.
(A) increased by more than twice
(B) increased more than two times
(C) more than doubled
(D) was more than doubled
(E) had more than doubled

答案是C， 但是为什么B不对呢？看了解释仍然不明白，忘哪位大虾解释一下，谢谢谢谢

这里increased more than twice应该指增加了不止两倍，强调增加量 而C中指明人数不止翻了一翻，更加符合原句的意思  所以选C好

B翻译过来是，从1978到1985年，the number of undergraduate degrees增加了超过两次，而不是两倍！

increase twice = double = two times

以上等式各项均可用做动词谓语.
