A．more than doubled
B．increased by more than twice
C．increased more than two times
D．was increased more than double
E．was more than doubled
参考答案
正确答案：E
解析：The clause "by the influx of drugs" at the end of the sentence means that the verb in the phrase should be passive, since the sentence specifies that the actor of the sentence is "influx"; therefore, A, B, and C are incorrect because their active verb forms do not agree with this final clause. The construction "increased more than double" in D is not idiomatic. E is the best answer.
