Question

Every year _____ money are spent on environment protection．

A．large quantities of        B．a large number of

C．a large quantity of        D．a plenty of

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：考察短语辨析。a large quantity of 后面可接可数名词或不可数名词,接不可数名词时谓语动词用单数,接可数名词复数时谓语动词用复数;large quatities of 后面接可数或不可数名词，谓语动词多要用复数.a large number of修饰可数名词。a plenty of这个词汇不存在。因为该短语修饰的是不可数名词money，谓语动词是are，故选A。该句意思为：每年大量的钱都被花在了环境保护上。

考点：考察短语辨析。
