The trumpet player was certainly loud.But I wasn′t bothered by his loudness__________by his lack?of talent.
A、than
B、more than
C、as
D、so much as
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：【考情点拨】考查比较级的用法。【应试指导】句意：这个号手的演奏声音无疑太吵。但是与其说我不能容忍这么大的声音不如说我不能容忍他的演奏水平低下。首先排除A、C两项，因为它们构不成比较级的正确形式。而该题的开头句子限定了对D项的选择，因为作者更想说明的是his lack of talent（缺乏才能）。not…so much as…与其说……不如说……，符合题意。
