According to a 1996 study published in the Journal of Human Resources, Americans of Middle Eastern descent were twice as likely as was the national average to be self-employed.
as was the national average to be self-employed
as the average American to be self-employed
as the national average that they would be self-employed
to be self-employed than was the average American
that they would be self-employed than was the national average
twice as ... as ...,可以排除D和E,剩下ABC。
the national average是全国平均值,the average American是普通美国人,题目中主语是Americans of Middle Eastern descent,具有中东血统的美国人,人要跟人比较,所以只有B正确。

E:we do not have "subject is likely that-clause" in english。
'the national average' would be exactly what it says: an average.
i.e., some kind of statistic.
'the national average' is not a person, so that option is nonsense.
Americans对比 the average American
