    Lightbulb Sentence Correction

    Need some help in phrases which have numbers:
    1. at least as much as amillion
    2. However much

    How exactly can phrases like these simplified.

    In 1978 only half the women granted child support
    by a court received the amount awarded;at least as
    much as a million and more others had not any
    support agreements whatsoever.
    A )at least as much as a million and more others
    had not any
    B)at least as much as more than a m llion others
    had no
    C)more than a million others had not any
    D )more than a million others had no
    E )there was at least a million or more others
    without any

    As this post isn't really a GMAT debriefing, I've moved it to a more appropriate forum.

    Re: Sentence Correction

    "more than a million others " conveys the same meaning as that of "at least as much as a million and more others" concisely. So the choices are reduced to C & D.
    D will be best.

    more than and at least as much as are two comparisions, so redundancy problem.
    So pick D, its simple and mentains the tense.
    No is better than Not any
