neither ...nor...前后要求单数一致或者复数一致吗？ 请指点。

在网上查到的解释，但是我觉得neither...nor....并不一定要前后一致，前者指money,后者指staff, 不同的概念，这样的解释是错的吧？


The commission acknowledged that no amount of money or staff members can ensure the safety of people who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant, but it approved the installation because it believed that all reasonable precautions had been taken.

(A) no amount of money [singular] or staff members [plural] - incorrect
(B) neither vast amounts of money [singular] nor staff members [plural] - incorrect
(C) neither vast amounts of money [singular] nor numbers of staff members - 'numbers of' is always wrong
(D) neither vast amounts of money [singular] nor a large staff [singular] - CORRECT
(E) no matter how large the staff or how vast the amount of money - awkward

不用一致

一致是指形式一致
money 和 staff 都是名词 形式一致

neither doing or to do
doing 和 to do 形式不一致 所以错

此题不能用形式 一致 的 principle 来解题
