1: When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950’s, some 4000 existed in the US, 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 number

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

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

选Ｃ　　人数不能用less　只能用　fewer排除Ａ

fewer than ... as..  错，排除Ｂ

NUMBER 不能用amount 修饰，amount 只能修饰不可数名词排除Ｄ

句型it is 改变了原句there are 没有必要　排除Ｅ

選項C用的是amount 吧？

恩，同一个意思有多种不同的表达方式，我被convince了，只有C才能作为语法正确的答案。D虽然形式很好，但有致命错误。

吴羽若

选了D。

不记得在OG的哪儿看到的了，就说there are的指代比较模糊，所以还是the number好，有没有of省略这么一说的？

尚舟明

这题答案是B啊
