gmat是普通老美也做不对的，只能去问老美的大牛牛。。。

另外，就算amout是可以修饰可数。

我的还是感觉是 不能说 a quarter of that amout, 就像不能说 a quarter of that number

要说 a quarter of many/much

能举几个例子么？

问一下，one-quarter 中间有个小横杠，应该是名词吧？和one quarter 有什么区别？

GWD-7-Q4:Only seven people this century have been killed by the great white shark, the man-eater of the movies—less than those killed by bee stings.

 

1. movies—less than those

2. movies—fewer than have been

3. movies, which is less than those

4. movies, a number lower than the people

5. movies, fewer than the ones

这道题是否跟我们讨论的题目有些像？因为我原来选的fewer than the ones……

Amount是个错误的标志，driving-ins是可数名词，不能用amount。B as many (as)缺少

OG11-4 A survey by the National Council of Churches showed that in 1986 there were 20,736 female ministers, almost 9 percent of the nation's clergy, twice as much as 1977.

a) twice as much as 1977

b) twice as many as 1977

c) double what it was in 1977

d) double the figure for 1977

e) a number double that of 1977's

这两道题是否很像？

A. there are less than one-quarter that many

that:在这里是指示代词；many:在这里作名词，意思是许多；that many用法别扭 one-quater；名词，表示数量1/4，one-quarter that many:名词修饰名词，错误；less:对于数量的比较；are:there be 后面接数量中心词谓语用单数

B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many

as many：数量/倍数+as many as+名词，所以后面省略了4,000 drive-ins；中心词是drive-ins，强调的是具体名词的对比

用few

C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

amount:指代前面的4000，one-quarter of that amount中心词表示数量，对比用less

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

than后面没有中心词，不知道比较什么；the number是数字，比较用lower

E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount

quarter of that amount是数量的比较用less

；it指代对象不存在

数学里面不是很多都有the number is less than...吗？

这个是一个国外网站的句子

THE NUMBER OF PRIME NUMBERS LESS THAN 1 LAKH, WHOSE DIGITAL SUM IS 2 [DIGITAL SUM OF A NUMBER IS THE SUM OF==>?

这道题还是考倒装吧。there be 的倒装

B  there are fewer than one-quarter as many

C there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

B中there are，one-quarter代表1000，那么谓语用复数are

而C中 one-quarter of that amount中心词还是amount，那么谓语应该是单数is，而不是are

将的太好了！！！
