New data from United States Forest Service ecologists show that for every dollar spent on controlled small-scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire-management personnel, it saves seven dollars that would not be spent on having to extinguish big fires.
A

B
that for every dollar spent on controlled small-scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire-management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing
C
that for every dollar spent on controlled small-scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire-management personnel saves seven dollars on not having to extinguish
D
for every dollar spent on controlled small-scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire-management personnel, that it saves seven dollars on not having to extinguish
E
for every dollar spent on controlled small-scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire-management personnel, that seven dollars are saved that would not have been spent on extinguishing


请问这个题,正确答案是B选项,可是我一开始就把它排除了,因为曼哈顿上说当dollars代表钱的时候当成不可数,用much less。为什么这个题的dollars are对了呢?

Manhattan上说的dollar表示“钱”的时候是不可数名词,用much less。这里的“钱”是指货币单位,是抽象的,是一种统称。
举个栗子:Dollar is depreciating more faster than ever.(美元正以空前的速度贬值)

而这里seven dollars是具体的,可数的,特指“7美元”,所以得用复数。
举个栗子:They spent over one million dollars on the campaign. (他们花了一百多万美元竞选)

是不是意思是以7dollars为例,当涉及比较时就用much  less,当其他时候就表示复数

不能这么简单地划归,主要是看统称与否,楼主可以把遇到的Manhattan那句贴出来分析。
