请问大全164题？

在GMAT中less既可以修饰不可数名词，又可以修饰可数名词，是优选答案。而fewer一般用来修饰人。

就是修饰单复数的区别，其实。

OG11-98less就不能修饰limitations

单行线

164. Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel.
(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel
(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do
(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel
(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel
(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel

ABCD都犯了比较对象不对称的错误，前面的对象是烧natural gas 的Vehicles，后面是烧gasoline 或disel fuel的vehicles,用Those代替vehicles就perfect了 所以选E，CORRECT！！

我觉得less of和fewer of没有什么规定的接可数不可数名词的规律，也没有说fewer of就只能接人，主要还是从具体意思上理解。less是少一点 fewer是强调量不够

也觉得这么解释才是王道，沉溺与less和fewer的争论不是这道题的要点所在。
