求助verbal 2nd 52

啦啦噜啦啦

The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDTwas sharply restricted in the early 1970s.
A extinction；its numbers are now five times greater than
B extinction； its numbers are now five times more than
C extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
D extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had
E extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they greater than

1.原句没有错，但是实在不明白为什么用numbers？？什么意思？我的理解是应该是什么什么的数量，应该是number哇
2.选项B extinction； its numbers are now five times more than 我的问题是more than 怎么了。。人家怎么不对了

求大神现身！

你不贴有原题没有人去给你找，但是第一个问题可以供你参考；词典中写的明白number 可以用单数，可以用复数。就像最常见的 a large number of ,但是也可以a large numbers
of . 这种事情其实就是一个多查词典的问题，没有什么可以问的。再不就多读增强语感
