Hi,

Could any of the experts comment specifically on the this part of option D —

“The white cedar has 4 times as much tensile strength as steel”

I just want to know if the above sentence is correct in terms of logic/meaning comparison? What if I say — “The white cedar has 4 times as much tensile strength as steel has”, would this be incorrect due to the inclusion of *has* ?

Use of 'has' is not a problem here. But even without 'has', I wouldn't worry. Tensile strength is the quality of white cedar and steel. So essentially we are comparing white cedar with steel.
"A has more X than B" or "A has more X than B has" - both would work.

great explanation! i have seen a couple of questions that test the comparison in the same way as in option D of this question, and your explanation helps/will help a lot.

Thank you.
