1.        The commission acknowledged that no amount of money or staff members can ensure the safety of people who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant, but it approved the installation because it believed that all reasonable precautions had been taken.

(A) no amount of money or staff members

(B) neither vast amounts of money nor staff members

(C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members

(D) neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff（D）

(E) no matter how large the staff or how vast the amount of money

第一个排除掉d, 因为觉得a large staff很别扭. 请问有这样的用法吗, 这里是否是省略?

GMAT有类似的一道题目，是关于staffing，你可以搜索一下！
