og 187

[pcl12]

187. In one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
(A)Americans were killed as
(B)Americans were killed than
(C)Americans were killed than those who
(D)more Americans were killed as there
(E)more Americans were killed as those who

答案是A,我想請教有關as many as
這題as many as是在比較2個子句?而在第2個as後的主詞因為也是Americans
所以可以省略?那什麼時候才要補出those 或 that等字呢?
as....as 和more... than 在as 和 than 後,常有很多是省略的情況吧?

你說對了

前後主詞相同可省略
不同則不可省略
看句意清不清楚決定

這裡的as 是直接做relative pronoun
