COCAINE

by pappueshwar » Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:50 am
According to surveys by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 20 percent of young adults used cocaine in 1979, doubling those reported in the 1977 survey.


WHY IS D INCORRECT?

A doubling those reported in the 1977 survey
B to double the number the 1977 survey reported
C twice those the 1977 survey reported
D twice as much as those reported in the 1977 survey
E twice the number reported in the 1977 survey

A doubling those reported in the 1977 survey
B to double the number the 1977 survey reported
C twice those the 1977 survey reported - AWKWARD

E twice the number reported in the 1977 survey
Number of youth is quantifiable!! So "as mush as" is out!
