Nearly two tons of nuclear-reactor fuel have already been put into orbit around the Earth, and the chances of a collision involving such material increase greatly as the amount of both space debris and satellites continue to rise.
as the amount of both space debris and satellites continue to rise
as the rise continues in both the amount of satellites and space debris
as the amount of space debris and the number of satellites continue to rise
with the continually increasing amount of space debris and the number of satellites
with the amount of space debris continuing to increase along with the number of satellites
number - 用于可数对象+可数名词;
amount - 用于不可数对象+集合名词;
·The number of students this year is increased.(注意the number of / a number of的区别:the number of + 复数名词 + 单数谓语动词;a number of + 复数名词+复数谓语词)
在结构上as引导从句表原因,with表伴随
C correct
d选项错在它的状语重心space debris & satellites所以就相当于伴随着这两个东西,那就不对了,而c选项是因为一整件事情。
amount不可数 numbers可数
as表示因为 卫星是可数的 需要用number
Because debris is not a countable noun, it must be described as an amount;
satellites are countable,so they must be referred to as a number, not an amount.
D.主要的错误the number of satellites前面没有increasing的修饰, This leaves the function of and the
number of satellites uncertain and confusing.
D increase
the amount of 修饰不可数;the number of 修饰可数名词;所以AB❌
D选项with 后面引导两个由and连接的并列名词成分,而两者前的修饰词continually increasing 要分别有,才能保持平行结构;
E选项:句子冗杂,不直接,让人迷茫
D为什么不对啊
and前后不平行
increasing定语就近修饰,只修饰了amount,没有修饰number,意思不对
as从句表原因,with引导短语还是句子都是伴随,在语义上就不对

if you've got a fraction of NOUN or a percentage of NOUN, you retain the singular/plural nature of NOUN.
so, since "students" is clearly a plural noun, so is "x% of students". since "precipitation" is clearly a singular noun, "50% of the precipitation" would also be a singular noun.
