Question

There are a small number of people involved, possibly ______twenty.

A．a(chǎn)s few as

B．a(chǎn)s little as

C．a(chǎn)s many as

D．a(chǎn)s much as

Answer 1

A

句意為：涉及少量人員，可能就20個。as…as 后接數(shù)字，譯為“達…”。由題干中的a small number of可知，說話者語意著重“少”的概念；而little 修飾不可數(shù)名詞，few修飾可數(shù)名詞。所以A項正確。
【考點定位】不定代詞的考查。表肯定意義有many, much, a few, a little；表否定意義有few, little 。修飾可數(shù)名詞的有many, few, a few；修飾不可數(shù)名詞的有l(wèi)ittle, much, a little。例如：It is too expensive. Moreover, she has little money left. 另外注意：quite a few 相當多；not a little 許多。
