Some quantities, such as people, can be counted; other quantities, such as respect, cannot. It can be said that a person earned much respect, or that many people attended an event. Here, much is incorrectly applied to ministers. As 1977 incorrectly completes the comparison; it would have to be as many as in 1977, which is not one of the possible answers. Another way to make the comparison emphasizes the number, 20,736; a number can be doubled. Double the figure for 1977 places the focus on the number and correctly completes the comparison. A Much incorrectly refers to ministers; as should be as in B As 1977 does not correctly complete this C What it was is awkward, wordy, and unclear D Correct. Double the figure places the emphasis of the sentence on the number of ministers; for 1977 correctly completes the comparison. E Wordy and awkward construction The correct answer is D. 请问大家 D 中的 double the figure for1977 是否符合表达习惯？ for 1977能否替换in 1977？ | ||
来来来,大家给点分析意见嘛!!上班没感看,只能在半夜等着大家的回复了.....等啊等啊等.......
in 1977成了时间状语了.这里需要的是定语. 意思是:"1977年的数字",而不是"在1977年翻倍了这个数字"
