Hi,

Can any expect please point to some earlier blog, which clarifies the doubts regarding comparisons.
I have gone through the M-GMAT SC, but the i don't feel its a universal set.

I m talking specifically about:
Twice that of
Doubling
Double as many as
Double the number
Twice as much as



My current understanding (not everything from M-GMAT):
"Twice as much as" is an appositive that can modify only the noun occurring just before it.
Doubling is used to modify the entire clause occurring before it.
"as many as" generally for Countable items.
"as much as" generally for uncountable items
