The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.

(A) extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
(B) extinction; its numbers are now five times more than

ab 到底嘛区别我怎么有点懵

绝对是A
英文表述习惯问题
一般都是说 A is XX times greater than B

numbers的用法也没错。。。
这个用法就好像我们用ONE做某个单数名词的代词，用ONES做前述复数名词的代词一样。

谢谢拉哈哈

答案选A啦~就像11楼说得，numbers 只能用greater than修饰，不能用more than修饰~

我觉得重点看GREATER 还是 MORE, 感觉GREATER比较直观吧。斗胆胡言一句

numbers没用错，Manhattan Idiom：The grey oyster nearly vanished, but ITS NUMBRES have rebounded.
下面都是摘自Manhattan的：
"The number of" is almost always incorrect. Stick to the expression "the number of"
However, "numbers" is possible in a few contexts. If you wish to make a comparision, use "greater than", not "more than"(which might imply that the quantity of numbers is larger, not the numbers themselves).
Chapter 10有专门讲Quantity的，LZ可以看一看~

没打错。题目绝对没任何问题。 5个选项也都是numbers

five times表倍数和more 不能连用的。。。题目是不是打错了。。number是单数。。而且than后面没比较对象
