参考答案
正确答案：B
解析：A is incorrect because the club doesn't have "more numbers of members," it has "greater numbers of members"; B makes the clearer comparison. The subject of the sentence is the singular "tango club," so the plural pronoun "they" in C and E is incorrect. The construction "now with numbers" in D is unidiomatic, because the phrase lacks a verb to make it sensibly follow the first clause. B, which forms a complete independent clause, is the best answer.
