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

A.      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。D错在哪儿呢？

我想问下few,less的用法以及amount和number的用法。

大家能帮忙总结一下么？

这个题目实际上只能选择B 因为B是唯一满足绝对语法规则的选项

A选项less是不对的，因为可数名词不能用less修饰
C DE选项的that amount是不对的，只能是that number

我个人认为这道题可能在抄录的时候有些出入所以显得非常的不好
as many在B选项句尾实际上是非常不符合英文习惯表达的
但是B选项是唯一能选的选项

希望这样的解释能够帮助你
