I guess A is the "best answer" I originally thought B said "the number". Are we sure there isn't a typo?

Can't be A...for several reasons; first, "the numbers of trucks" is not correct; correct form would be "number of trucks"second, "...twice the numbers" cannot be correct because we don't know what does twice THE numbers refers to??; it should be twice THAT numbers, "that" would imply 469,000 from the first part of the sentence. marcodonzelli wrote: hanumayamma wrote: A. the numbers of trucks alone [the numbers of – incorrect usage – eliminate it]
