A.
B. at once as many changes as
C. at once as many changes that there were with
D. As many changes at once as they confronted in
E. so many changes at once that confronted them in
Answer and Explanation:
A is wrong because had is a wrong verb. We have to use simple past tense instead of (they had in)
B. Totally wrong. A Clause must follow "as"
C. Totally wrong. A Clause must follow "as"
D. Correct.
E. so many as is the sorrect idiom. Wrong
So, D is the correct answer.
My question is, We should use "so many as" instead of "as many as" in negative context. The above one is the negative context ("Never before had taxpayers"). So, I believe"So many as" should come instead of "as many as" in the correct sentence. Let me know if I'm wrong[/u][/b]
