大全section01-19

[wawa0916]

19.The commission acknowledged that no amount of money or staff members can ensure the safety of people who live in the vicinity of a nuclear plant, but it approved the installation because it believed that all reasonable precautions had been taken.
(A) no amount of money or staff members
(B) neither vast amounts of money nor staff members
(C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members
(D) neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff
(E) no matter how large the staff or how vast the amount of money

问题：答案D 想問 C不對是因為vast 的修飾對象可以是amounts 也可以是 numbers嗎??

事隔以久 我來回覆一下巴!

主要考點在A or B 及 neither A or B 之 AB要概念對等上。
amount of money 是單一整(群)體概念
所以也要找一個是單一整(群)概念的來跟他做搭配!

(A) no amount of money or staff members
(B) neither vast amounts of money nor staff members
(C) neither vast amounts of money nor numbers of staff members
(D) neither vast amounts of money nor a large staff
(E) no matter how large the staff or how vast the amount of money

反紅部份皆為複數概念，與amount of money不對等。(C)的numbers of 要加不可數N，不能加可數N。
(E)的no matter...囉嗦! 且兩個how從句都少了一個動詞。
