Question

We can say the number 40,823 in English like this:       .

A.fourty thousand and eight hundred and twenty- three

B.fourty thousand eight hundred and twenty-three

C.forty thousand eight hundred and twenty-three

D.forty thousand and eight hundred and twenty-three

Answer

C

【解析】

句意：我们可以这样用英语说数字40,823: forty thousand eight hundred and twenty-three。

考查基数词表达。forty四十，fourty是错误书写，可排除前两项。英语中的读数，三位数时“百+ and +基数词”；超过三位数时，百以上不加and，按“万-千-百+ and +基数词”读出。本句40,823需读作forty thousand eight hundred and twenty-three，故选C。
