From the BlueBook’s third test (section 6-question 11)…

Twice as many bird species inhabit Ecuador as in North America.

a.) as in
b.) as inhabit
c.) instead of in
d.) when compared to
e.) than

I thought the answer was E… The answer is actually B. If e.) was “than in”, would that make a difference? Thanks!
