auswer: D

請教一下B為什麼不好??

[eggcake520]

"elephant" should be a countable noun.
I think B using "as much as" is wrong.

[michelle610]

as much as 300,000 elephants-----elephant是可數名詞 怎麼會用much勒

[jim9619]

哎呀~~
竟然沒注意到.....
感謝感謝..

句意的重點應該是在forest本身
B選項則突顯了大象的角色

當然啦much還是最主要的錯

請問a third of them應該怎麼翻譯呢?謝謝喔

[fsab00037748]

one-third of them , a third of them 都可用
指三分一的大象吧

真沒想到ETS竟然在GMAT裡會考much跟many這個考點
沒注意題目還真的給他傻傻選了B了~感謝解惑
