Question

As a matter of fact，________of people seem to prefer watching games to playing games.

A. a great deal          B. a great many

C. the majority         D. the number

Answer

C

【解析】考查固定短语。a great deal许多，大量。只修饰不可数名词；a great many许多，修饰可数名 词复数。但如果有of后面的名词前应该有限定词。The majority of大多数，修饰可数名词复数；the number of+可数名词复数，表示……的数量。句意“事实上大多数人看似更喜欢看游戏而不是玩游戏。”故答案 为C。
