472

[vaivish]

472. Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.
(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did
(B) so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(C) as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those
(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those
(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they did

[Vignesh.4384]

IMO D.

the idiom is "SO X AS TO BE Y" .. The proper idiom is not used in A & B.
C -> wrong idiom.
between D & E ..
In option D the word those in the latter part correctly refers to land value.

[Aldiablo]

IMO D too.
