A recent United States Census Bureau report shows that there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as compared to households where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's home.
as compared to households where the
as there are households where the
as those whose
than compared to those where the
than there are whose
如果有修饰成分如比较级,应该放在第一个as前面。例如:We've produced twice as much cotton this year as we did last year.
本题结构为:there are three times as HOUSEHOLD1 as (there are) HOUSEHOLD2. 表示household1是household2的三倍
A - should be "as many x as y." the "as compared to" is long winded. A also is not parallel and missing a "there"
C:, it says that households have grandparents (i.e., the households THEMSELVES - not the people in them - have grandparents).
C: those后面接whose错误。这样就变成了households whose grandparents。。。不合逻辑households哪里来的grandparents
if you read this choice extremely literally, it says that households have grandparents (i.e., the households THEMSELVES - not the people in them - have grandparents).
this is absurd.
(A)as compared to用法错误,与as……as……重复
(C)whose和前面的where不平行
(D)as than搭配错误
(E)as than搭配错误
there are more than three times as many households where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' homes as there are households [where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's home.
as/as可以接名词/形容词/状语/句子,如:as big as an egg; as soon as possible; as beautiful as before;He was handsome as his wife was beautiful.

A中 compared to 多余, as....as 就有比较的涵义
B,"A recent..report shows that THERE ARE (more than three times) as MANY HOUSEHOLDS where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as THERE ARE HOUSEHOLDS where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's home."
There are 和 there are 并列
as...as compared to或者as...as compared with是错误的
The second "there are..." isn't strictly necessary. Without it, you'd have a sentence with the same structure as "In most countries, there are as many men as women."
Its primary value lies in making the sentence easier to read.
This is not an issue of right and wrong"”it's a style issue"
错选C,不能说household的granparents
好吧,这里原句用了。。
household 为什么可以接where?where不是只能加实际地点吗?
compare to 的主语应该是主句主语,此处为there 错
平行非常重要
B where 从句平行
as many as 不能和 as compared to 写在一起,造成重复

This is not an issue of right and wrong"”it's a style issue"”and so it will never be dispositive in a real problem. Still, you should know it's a thing.

B,"A recent..report shows that THERE ARE (more than three times) as MANY HOUSEHOLDS where the children and grandchildren are living in their grandparents' home as THERE ARE HOUSEHOLDS where the grandparents are living in their children's or grandchildren's home."
虽然选对了,但是还是不理解为什么B中有 “there are”
