GWD-8-Q41:

When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950’s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.

 

A.      there are less than one-quarter that many

B.       there are fewer than one-quarter as many

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

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

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

这道题正选是C

这道题以往的讨论集中在C和D两个选项上，讨论都好老...想问下NN们这道题选哪个？

是不是数字前面应该跟less 呢？ 比如 less than the amount of ..   less than the number of ...

拜谢！

新版prep答案给的是b

非常见鬼的一题.完全不知道as many是怎么来的...

不过less只能用于value,degree或者amount之类的; fewer只能用于number等可数的量.所以在这一点上只有b和e符合逻辑. 而e的it没有合理的指代对象.只能选b了...

请哪位大侠解释一下as many好吗...

同问，答案天天变啊

(Longman)

as many
a number that is equal to another number
They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools.

as many 是可以单独使用的，是 as many as the number 的省略，

there are fewer than one-quarter as many (as 4000)
