ＧＷＤ上的 When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, 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. there 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 答案说选C，我怎么觉得应该选Ｄ。
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
less不能用来修饰可数名词，结构也很混乱
B.there are fewer than one-quarter as many
fewer修饰可数名词，正确
C.there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
less和amount不能用来指可数名词，应该用fewer和number D.the number is less than one-quarter the amount
less和amount不能用来指可数名词，应该用fewer和number
E.it is less than one-quarter of that amount
less和amount不能用来指可数名词，应该用fewer和number
注意：
1.less和amount不能修饰可数名词
2.number是不能用less修饰的，OG上只能用great
C的比较错误：
here are fewer than one-quarter of that amount 句子里面比较的对象不正确。there are 指的是一个具体的事物，而不是一个数字，而 one-quarter of that amount（number）指的是一个数字。一个复数对象和一个数字比是不可比的。
B的质疑解答：
有人质疑B 里面 as many 是as many as...的省略，根据 fewer than和 as many 不能连用排除 B。
歧视不是as many as 结构的省略，as many=a number that is equal to another number，跟 as well, as good 类似，是一个副词，放在句末表程度。如： twice as many（这个as many 甚至可以不翻译）
另：OG 和大全上只有少量 as well 的例子，而 as good, as many 的例子只有网上才有。以上用法可当 idiom 记。作者: selinamba 时间: 2010-8-27 19:01

在GMAT中LESS和FEWER： GMAT中可数不可数都用LESS，例外：指人的时候用FEWER 所以基本上不能根据less 和 fewer判断答案
