如何分析句子结构as much a creature as

Small as it is, the ant is as much a creature as ______ all other animals on earth.

A．do

B．have

C．is

D．are

这道题为什么选D.are ?

看不懂句子结构"as much a creature as..." - 这里如何分析句法成分呢？

The ant is a creature. The elephant is a creature.

蚂蚁是生物。大象是生物。如果我们想表示蚂蚁是生物的程度不亚于大象是生物的程度，我们就可以说：

The ant is no less a creature than the elephant is.

The ant is as much a creature as the elephant is.

如果我们为了突出比较分句的主语，比较分句就采用倒装结构，主语位于句末。

The ant is no less a creature than is the elephant.

The ant is as much a creature as is the elephant.

现在看你提问的句子，比较分句采用倒装结构以突出主语，主语为复数，所以用are。

赞同曹老师的分析。借此机会对as much a creature as...结构作一点补充：

as much+可数或不可数名词+as是一个惯用的同级比较句型，是as…as句式的扩展，相当于the same +名词+as，意为“A就如同B一样……；既……又；不仅……而且”。又例如：

This is as much our responsibility as yours. 这既是你们的责任，也是我们的责任。
