When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950's, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.
B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many
C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount
E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount
答案是C。
我选了B。虽然觉得B中的as many怪怪的。但the amount可以用在这里吗？amount不是多用于不可数名词的量吗？请指正。谢谢先了.作者: himba 时间: 2004-9-15 13:39
查了longman，However, people often use amount with plural countable nouns when what they are talking about is thought of as a group: We didn't expect such a large amount of people. | an enormous amount of problems这个能作为这题选C的理由吗？请指教。
