Question

【題目】It says that there will be rain this coming summer.

A. a great many B. a number of C. a great deal D. a great deal of

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】句意：據(jù)說(shuō)今年夏天會(huì)有很多雨。考查形容詞短語(yǔ)辨析。a great many 很多的/非常多的，修飾可數(shù)名詞；a number of許多，后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)通常用復(fù)數(shù)；a great deal大量，多用做副詞或名詞，后面如果要跟名詞，必須加介詞of，即a great deal of，修飾的是不可數(shù)名詞。本題rain是不可數(shù)名詞，故選D。
