我的第一感觉是D

the correct expression should be "the number is  greater/ fewer than.....
            

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

D里是is呀

number is countable.  but "less" modifies "uncountable"

less can be in front of countable

The below from Longman

less than 10/100 etc a distance of less than 100 metres

I support D for this question

可惜没有官方答案.

俺也选D. 总觉的其它选项中的比较不太安全.

关于LESS THAN...AMOUNT,我觉的LESS 可以修饰AMOUNT, 因为AMOUNT指的是一个数, LESS 一般用于修饰数.(我的解释也有点牵强)

amount到底用什么修饰啊，如是C，不是变成amount成了可数了？

我觉得是D啊

What's the answer? Mine is A, "amount" is used to modify [u.n], "fewer" can't modify numbers

前面看来，大家说d的比较多

D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount
少了of

我选c

of that amount is better than of the amount

想起个问题，不知对不对。number是不不可以用less修饰阿

与楼上同问

我选的D,主要是number作为新名词出现很让人顺眼,而且number可以指代所要表达的意思(从前面4000就可对应).

只是后来想到这个问题,好像number的多少只能用large 和small表达

记得PREP语法里有说过number没有more or less，只有greater or smaller~,数量才有多或者少
