[求助]GWD-8-Q41，糊涂了~less 0r few?

lissaji

A, less 修饰不可数名词, 不能用来修饰drive-ins;且不管他的意思，实际上题干中把他作为可数名词了，从were的使用可以判断．

B, 正确,there are fewer than one-quarter as many是省略表达，如果完整的还原的话就是: there are fewer than one-quarter as many drive-ins as are there in the 1950's

C, fewer和that amount不能对应, amount 是用来修饰不可数的.

D,  the number 和the amount对应，逻辑混乱,怎么可以说一个number是一个amount呢, 另外the amount 是修饰不可数名词的,不能用来修饰drive-ins

E, it 指代不清, less 修饰不可数名词, 不能用来修饰drive-ins

还是不明白as many用在这里的作用，不过底下的解释是选择B的，我刚从网上google来得，

可以借鉴。

Drive-ins are countable, so they take countable modifiers. Eliminate A, D, and E because they use "less" instead of "fewer."

Between B and C, "amount" is used for uncountable nouns (compare "amount of sand" to "number of books"), so that eliminates C.

I'd go with B. It correctly uses "fewer" and "many" to refer to a countable noun, "drive-ins."

有没有大N再接再厉，解释一下as many在这里的用法？？

原来楼上已经解释了，似乎有点理解。

A解释有点疑问

there are less than one quarter that many

这里less修饰的是one quarter 不应该用drive-in是否可数来判断吧

WesternCder

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 （less修饰的是drive-ins，这里省略了，所以不同意楼上的说法）

B.       there are fewer than one-quarter as many  （as many 的用法不明白）

C.      there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount （我觉得C项正确，）

D.      the number is less than one-quarter the amount （the number 和some 4.000概念不对等）

E.       it is less than one-quarter of that amount（it无指代）

fewer不能修饰amount.
