that many指的是4000个drive-ins，可数，因此用fewer而不是less

less修饰的是不可数的，错

one quarter加后面的部分应该是一个可数项，而less修饰不可数名词，且用less的话，前面要用there is，故用less错误；that many的表达unidiomatic。

关于A选项中的that many还有一种解释：如果是that many，则不能直接跟在副词one-quarter后面，应该在that many前加上of，使得one-quarter作为代词身份出现：one-quarter of of that many。

小虫子 there are less 不对的 less修饰不可数 应该是there is less

1 less 修饰不可数名词，这里探讨的对象是 drive-ins 可数 2 如果探讨的是不可数名词，应该用there is less than 3 as many idiomatic用法

主语is driver-ins，从从句谓语动词were判断其为可数名词。4000省略写法，指代的是4000 driver-ins so,1)可数名词比较 fewer 而不是less 2）as many=a number that is equal to another number ?表示同样的数字 They say the people of Los Angeles speak 12 languages and teach just as many in the schools. in as many days/weeks/games etc. A great trip! We visited five countries in as many days (=in five days). *: "twice as many", "one-quarter as many", etc.都是非常常见的用法，记住这样的表达。 3）amout 修饰不可数名词

one quarter加后面的部分应该是一个可数项，而less修饰不可数名词，且用less的话，前面要用there is，故用less错误；that many的表达unidiomatic。

用less就不能用are，less修饰不可数名词

less修饰不可数名词，這裡修飾可數名詞。that指代不清
