@missionmba

Pls don't post so many questions at once. You should search for your question before posting it again.
I don't want to offend anyone yet the forum shouldn't clutter.

Pls see the following thread for 1000SCs.

IMO B

A The wrong usage of the word equivalent - it is used to refer to 2 quantities that are nearly similar but not exactly similar.

B Correct - concise and clear

C the number of ..... as many as the number

D as great is unidiomatic for this st

E The first part of the sentence refers to number of the students not the students themselves.

IMHO, E is right too, only unnecessarily wordy and confusing

B is the best choice
