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 broderage houses required only ten percent cash for stocks bought on "margin".
(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
(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
答案是C。但是看完解释，我还是有问题。答案中说不可以用quantities来修饰可数名词people，但是我baidu了下，有以下解释
自己顶下先～
同样还有一道刘振民语法里的题要问。题目是这样的：
Affording strategic proximity to the Strait of Gibralter, Morocco was also of interest to the French throughout the first half of the twentieth century because they assumed that if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure.
(A) if they did not hold it, their grip on Algeria was always insecure
(B) without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure
(C) their grip on Algeria was not ever secure if they did not hold it
(D) without that, they could never be secure about their grip on Algeria
(E) never would their grip on Algeria be secure if they did not hold it
答案是B.我不明白为什么E不行。确实E选项的if thy did not hold it比起B选项的without it太罗嗦了，但是E的语气更强烈，不是似乎更好吗？请高手指教哦
