(A) as much as thrice that consumed in Japan
(B) as much as thrice that of Japan’s consumption
(C) up to three times of Japan’s consumption
(D) up to three times what Japanese consumed
(E) up to triple the amount the Japanese consumed
I'm not very good with comparisons and always make mistakes.
I feel option E is correct as we are comparing amount of food consumed per person in America to the amount of food the Japanese consumed.
If someone could explain how to approach comparisons the right way, it would be of great help.
Thanks!
