GMAT每日一题－语法第132题

      According to a 1996 study published in the Journal of Human Resources, Americans of Middle Eastern descent were twice as likely as was the national average to be self-employed.

      (A) as was the national average to be self-employed

      (B) as the average American to be self-employed

      (C) as the national average that they would be self-employed

      (D) to be self-employed than was the average American

      (E) that they would be self-employed than was the national average

      原文意思：根据一个研究，A这个地方的子孙在self employed这个方面是全国水平的两倍

      题目分析：有一个比较出现，由于第一个as已经是放在划线外了，所以选项中应该在出现as，否则就不是和。。一样的意思了，DE干掉。C那个they显着很多余，杀！AB之间1个加了was一个没有，由于后面有to be了没必要加was了，选B。
