What is the purpose of paragraph 19 in the excerpt from All the Light We Cannot See?

She either must have not been on the phone and working or something else. it seems that here boss catches her a lot of the time on the phone and not doing work but hasn't been fired yet.

Translation: we have as many pens as they.if this question is asking whether the grammar is correct, or incorrect, then the answer should be: incorrect.  a sentence with better grammar would be: we have as many pens as them.or in spanish: tenemos tantos corrales como ellos.hope this ! : )
