(為什麼不能用A呢？)

Ans:B

3."I didn't go to the party last night."
  "Did _____ go to the party?"
a.many John friends
b.many John's friends
c.many of John's friends
d.many friends of John

Ans:C
(Why!!這題最令我不解，看似簡單的文法，但是為什麼不能用其他選項呢)

4.I saw _______ at the bakery.
a.my sister's boyfriend

求板上英文大神救援！！謝謝大家！
