Lets simplify this:

The right idiom shd be "more than.. as many" - "as"

univs are being compared, so 'those' is the approp pronoun

the participle 'charging' describes the 2nd set of univs

Acc to blah, more than three times as many univs charge x as those charging y

my ans is E

A, B, C - incorrect ,because correct idiom is as many ......as

So we are down to D, E

E - parallelism error

D is correct

My answer is E.

In choice D: the clause after as misses the subject "university"
it should be as those charging over.... hence E is the correct choice.

The IDIOM is "more than... as many.. as"

My answer is E on this one....
D doesn't make sense and ABC don't fix the idiom error.

A) than those that charge
B) than are charging
C) than to charge
D) as charge
E) as those charging
A is the best answer. B and C aren't grammatically correct. As for D and E, while they have complete the 'as many as' idiom, they have other errors. For example, D is should be "as 'those that' charge", and the "charging" in E commits a parallelism error. Therefore, A is the best answer.

the idiom that you should be worrying about is "more X than Y".

Maybe this will help. Read only the parts of the sentence that I have bolded.
