A. amount 修饰可数错 B. 同A C. the number caused by faulty wiring逻辑错误错， like与最近的中心词平行，所以错 D The number of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like accidents caused by faulty wiring, has increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing had been relaxed.
like前后平行，has increased 主谓一致， since不表示现在完成时的时间状语从句标志词，而是‘由于’的意思，表示因果关系： has表示对现在有影响，had been 表示 E. 同C
选E。 2. The amount of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like accidents caused by faulty wiring, has increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing have been relaxed. A The amount of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like accidents caused by faulty wiring, has increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing have been relaxed. B The amount of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like those caused by faulty wiring, have increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing were relaxed. C The number of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like the number caused by faulty wiring, have increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing were relaxed. D The number of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like accidents caused by faulty wiring, has increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing had been relaxed. E The number of car accidents caused by faulty brakes, like the number caused by faulty wiring, has increased significantly since regulations on manufacturing were relaxed.
两步排除选出正确答案： 第一步：like前后平行，前面是the number，则后面也应该是跟数量有关的单词，即x like y, x和y应该是同一类事物；排除A.B.D； 第二步：subject-verb agreement。该句结构如下：the number(subject)...,插入语, has increased(谓语动词)...since...(时间状语). the number是单数形式，故谓语动词应该保持一致，也就是用单数形式has，排除C.
