我preferB bc決戰點在於後面amount 跟 as many as many 可 說數目上和原本數字相同的事物(可數) 如（ 1 ） Seven topics were discussed at as many （ = seven ） meetings （ 七 個會 議 討 論 了 七 個 題 目 ） 。 （ 2 ） They beat us in three football games, but on as many （ = three ） occasions they were thrashed by our team （ 他 們 和我 們 踢 足 球 ， 勝 了 三 次) 可知這裡as many 是指前面4000 所以這裡one-quarter as many 應該是可行( 如twice as many ) 至於amount(不可數)定義為amount is used to refer to quantity that cannot be counted (an enormous amount) 雖說amount用法語文學上有例外 如金錢等 不過這裡並不適用 故不考慮 有趣的是在國外gmat論壇也有人在討論這題 當時有人指出這題gmat prep是給B 答案至於解釋他並未提及 there are fewer than one-quarter as many (as 4000 可省略)是我對原句想法 anyway 也請大家相互討論一下 ※ 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! --
