GMAT CLUB Official Explanation:
A. Vials are countable - therefore using “much” is wrong; “”many” should be used instead. Use of the verb “has” is wrong. Here “has” is a part of the compound verb “has filled”, but the word “filled” is wrongly committed. Omission of a word is allowed when the word already occurs in the sentence - here the word “filled” does not exist in the sentence.
B. The word “than” is wrongly used. The word “than” must always be used with a comparative adjective, but in this sentence there is none.
Use of the verb “did” is wrong. Here “did” is a part of the compound verb “did fill”, but the word “fill” is wrongly committed. Omission of a word is allowed when the word already occurs in the sentence - here the word “fill” does not exist in the sentence.
C. Correct. “Many” is used to depict a countable noun. The verb “filled” is used in past tense correctly. Parallelism is maintained between the two elements compared.
D. Use of the verb “has” is wrong. Here “has” is a part of the compound verb “has filled”, but the word “filled” is wrongly committed. Omission of a word is allowed when the word already occurs in the sentence - here the word “filled” does not exist in the sentence.
E. “Two times” is wordy. The word “than” is wrongly used. The word “than” must always be used with a comparative adjective, but in this sentence there is none.
