再来看最后一题
As rainfall began to decrease in the Southwest about the middle of the twelfth century,most of the Monument Valley Anasazi abandoned their homes to join other clans whose access to water was less limited.
A.whose access to water was less limited
B.where there was access to water that was less limited
C.where they had less limited water access
D.with less limitations on water access
E.having less limitations to water access
这道题我先开始也是做错了，其实要清楚clan的意思，clan表示宗族，家族，因此B,和C中的where 就错了，再看D和E limitations是是可数名词，当然不能用less了，只能用fewer来修饰，而正确选项中的A之所以能用less ，是因为limit在这里是动词，less作副词修饰limit，表示程度
