the amount of NOUN是单数名词
the amounts of NOUN是复数名词
the number of NOUN是单数名词
the numbers of NOUN是复数名词
by far是目前为止的意思
by far是“至今”的意思,而本选项想说的是“远远的超过”,所以此处by far措辞有误。
1.主谓一致,ABC错
2.idiom,able to be consumed错,able to do是主动动作,不能用被动,D错
3.简洁far exceed比exceeds by far简洁,BD不好。
by far是“至今”的意思
the amount of 通常接不可数名词,表示……的数量,是单数,也可以用the amounts of,是复数;
the number of+可数名词复数,表示……的数量,是单数,也可以用the numbers of,是复数;
a和e一不小心就看走眼了
the amounts of复数
the amount of 通常接不可数名词,表示……的数量,是单数,也可以用the amounts of,是复数;
the number of+可数名词复数,表示……的数量,是单数,也可以用the numbers of,是复数;
the amounts of...amounts就是复数
the amounts of...amounts就是复数 没有什么好犹豫的
应该是复数,看those
RON关于D的解释focus在able to be consumed by humans。这里重点是说人们能够消耗多少,而不是致癌物能够被人们消耗。able无论是主动还是被动语态,都意味着主语发出这个动作。
因为想到amount是修饰不可数,所以错选A,但是看后面的those应该推断出用复数谓语,所以是E
D选项的错误点:those able to be consumed错了
far exceed 还是exceed by far其实都说的通吧?
主谓一致排除abc
exceed by far 不如far exceed
those able to be consumed意思逻辑不当
没注意主谓一致。。。。
