请问amount of/amounts of的用法，网上查了下后面应该都是跟不可数名词，可是这道题后面跟了复数名词carcinogens？？？
谢谢回答

lz,句子主語是the amounts... 謂語是複數

恩，这点明白，但为什么后面跟的是可数名词carcinogens？？？

我在网上和电子词典上也查到了the amounts of后面跟复数的情况。

the amounts of suspected carcinogens 这里的核心词是amounts,指数量，注意amounts前面有the! 而不是像a large amout of后面跟不可数名词时，核心词是后面的名词。

这句话是说，致癌物的“数量”超过了。。。注意句意就可以了。

我选E，也不是根据所谓的amounts来判定的，纯粹靠主谓用法

Some scientists have been critical of the laboratory tests conducted by the Federal Drug Administration on the grounds that the amounts of suspected carcinogens fed to animals far exceeds those that humans could consume
A. far exceeds those that humans could consume==>exceeds说明前面那个数量是单数，但是those就应该指代那个数量但是用的是复数，所以不一致错误
C. far exceeds those humans are able to consume==>同A的错误
E. far exceed those that humans could consume==>说明前面那个数量是复数，后面的those指代复数，正确

别死记啊，否则很容易被GMAC欺骗绕进去的

说实话 amount 和amounts直接的区别，还是真的不知道是怎么区别的，虽然这题比较简单。请后续的NN解释下哈
