According to a 1996 survey by the National Association of College an University Business Officers, more than three times as many independent institutions of higher education charge tuition and fees of under $8,000 a year than those that charge over $16,000.
A) than those that charge
B) than are charging
C) than to charge
D) as charge
E) as those charging
OA: E
I understand why it should be narrowed down to D and E, because of the as X as Y idiom. But what I don't understand is how, that charge is parallel to those charging. Shouldn't it be, as those that charge over $16,000? Thanks!
