标题: 请教补充题101

101. The speculative fever of the Roaring Twenties infected rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended, credit was absurdly easy to obtain, and most brokerage houses required only ten percent cash for stocks bought on “margin.”(P2 F-2)

(A) rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended

(B) both rich and poor alike; large amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves

(D) both rich and poor alike; vast amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves（C）

(E) both rich and poor; great quantities of people were dangerously overextended

A为何错，是因为vast的缘故吗？

不对呀，我觉得答案是E呀

作者: llrllrllr 时间: 2005-7-15 14:45
我也选了E,查了答案是C,难道答案有误？没人有异议。

LZM的语法精解中,vast quantities 和 large amounts 只能修饰不可数名词. 所以只有C对

作者: llrllrllr 时间: 2005-7-15 14:58
我查了字典，quantities of 可以修饰可数也可以修饰不可数名词啊。和LZM的解释有冲突啊，问题出哪儿呀？晕～～～

quantities of是可以修饰复数的，amount（s）of 是不可以的；刘振民语法里也没有说到quantities of不能修饰可数名词复数，请看到刘振民〈GMAT语法改错精解〉P22 第4行

哦, 我记错了.

作者: llrllrllr 时间: 2005-7-15 16:27
A到底错哪儿呀，有谁能帮忙解释一下？

我觉得可能是用quantities来修饰people不太好。我也选得E。

E 一上来就应该排除的.

原文的意思是对富人和穷人的传染差不多. 但E把句子改成传染富人也传染穷人. 两个意思不一样.

quantities形容人不太符合语法习惯. number很顺.
