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.

Will go with B.

Request you to underline the necessary in the qn.

thanks!

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

B is the best choice
