※ 引述《denizee3 (妮)》之銘言：
: When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950’s,
: some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today <there are less than
: one-quarter that many.>
: A. there are less than one-quarter that many
: B. there are fewer than one-quarter as many
: C. there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
: D. the number is less than one-quarter the amount
: E. it is less than one-quarter of that amount
: Answer: 有人說B, GWD給C
: 剛剛爬文..對於這題的答案好像位於B和C
: 想請問各位大大這題答案到底是B還是C阿?
: 還有要怎麼解呢?
: 謝謝!
首先，這題為Prep3題目，答案為B
解法大致為:
Step 1: drive-ins為可數名詞，必須用fewer來修飾，所以less錯誤，刪除ADE
Step 2: amount搭配不可數名詞，number搭配可數名詞，所以fewer跟amount放在一起
是有衝突的，刪除C
=> Ans: B
補充: B的答案中，as many有兩種說法，
1. 為一固定用法: as many = a number that is equal to another number
2.為一省略: 還原後為there are fewer than one-quarter as many drive-ins
as are there in the 1950's
以上。Open to discuss ^^
