是的∼這邊的AREA是不可加S的不可數！
至於B應該是改成approximately吧！
有問題在發問吧！

Quinton,
Please check it up.
It's definitely a countable.

We only need its singular form, area, here to represent the whole US.

我知道area有可數跟不可數啊！
只是這邊的意思就是像您所說的意思啊！
希望樓主別誤會！！

因為846,000是限詞(拿來限定名詞用)，基本上是形容詞的一種，所以要用副詞修飾~~
至於賴水信的嘛....老實說他的書我看不太懂....
