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. tnhere 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
答案选C
我选了E
不能用it指代前面提到的概念,一般用that和those
本来我也想选D,后来发现,前面提到的some 4,000 existed 强调的是个体概念,而D中
the number 强调是整体概念,整体不对应个体。
C中one-quarter of that amount是指4000的1/4
