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.
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
OA is E but i have some issues with D and the right choice. the question says "20% of young adults" its a percentage not a number but correct answer choice says "twice the number" i read in one of the Ron's thread that "Twice the number" after the comma should modify the noun before the comma, however, in the correct answer choice "twice the number" after comma is modifying "in 1979" i need an expert to explain this issue.
