标题: 求助GWD 一道语法,谢谢大家了
GWD-8-Q41:

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.



  1. there are less than one-quarter that many

  2. there are fewer than one-quarter as many

  3. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

  4. the number is less than one-quarter the amount

  5. it is less than one-quarter of that amount
    选C还是D呢,我觉得选D,答案选C,there be句型不是很不好嘛

据说新prep里面官方答案是B。
马后炮地说一下吧。
很多时候句型问题其实是其次,最重要的是表意清晰,这题考点是可数与不可数,所以关键在句首的“fewer”&“less”之比,以及句末的“many”&“amount”之比。
drive-ins是可数的,于是对应“fewer”和“many”,“less”和“amount”均修饰不可数名词。所以选B。
之前讨论帖里面有一个问题是修饰百分比和分数的时候,无论可数不可数,都用“less”而不用“fewer”。现在看来GMAC考察重点不是艰深晦涩的语法知识,而是如何运用语法表意清晰。

答案是B,A,E项less用于比较不可数名词,而且A项有fracture,E项it没有reference, amount是修饰不可数名词的,drive-in可数,和there be句型无关。
