和大家探讨一道题，

bessette

The speculative fever of the Roaring Twenties infected (rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerouly overextended), credit was absurdly easy to obtain, and most brokerage houses required only ten percent cash for stocks bought on "margin."

A.rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerouly overextended
B.both rich and poor alike;large amounts of people dangerously overextended    themselves
C.rich and poor alike; great numbers of people were dangerously overextended themselves
D.both rich and poor alike; vast amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves
E.both rich and poor; great quantities of people were dangerously overextended

排除B.D, 但A.C.E如何筛选？ LZM的解释是 用quantity修饰people不妥，但我记得quantity可数名词、不可数名词都可修饰的，是不是该从后面的themselves 找突破口？

不知哪位大虾帮我看看？

没见过quantity修饰人的,好象只能修饰物吧.

quantity 在不同的表示下修饰不同，具体就查查字典，我第一感觉选E，不sure。

答案是C,我第一感觉也是E
