Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than 1 percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.
101. Even though the direct costs of malpractice disputes amounts to a sum lower than one percent of the $541 billion the nation spent on health care last year, doctors say fear of lawsuits plays a major role in health-care inflation.
amounts to a sum lower amounts to less amounted to less amounted to lower amounted to a lower sum
答案:C,但是less than 应该是修饰不可数名词,可这句中修饰的是 money, billion,这是怎么回事呢?用D还象也不顺啊。
less本身就是一个名词,它本身就是少,少于的意思;上面有个东西我写错了,你说less than修饰不可数名词,此时less是little的比较级,它的这个性质是根据little来得。给你举个字典上的例子: The project was completed in less than two years.
