Solution
The correct option is B as many female as male students are currently enrolled in medical school
The initial sentence is certainly wordy, but look for specific problems that you can fix. Let's start with the terms describing the number, you're given several options: the number . . . . is equivalent to, as many female as male students, the number . . . . is as many as, as great as the number . . . , and the students are enrolled in equal numbers. Options (C) and (D) are grammatically incorrect because each uses the wrong idiom to describe the number. Choice (A) is grammatically incorrect, so focus on their expression. Answer choice (B) is clearly the most succinct option, and since it is still faithful to the original meaning of the sentence, it is the correct choice is well.
