问题 The speculative fever of the Roaring Twenties infected rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended, credit was absurdly easy to obtain, and most brokerage houses required only ten percent cash for stocks bought on "margin."

选项 A、rich and poor alike; vast quantities of people were dangerously overextended
B、both rich and poor alike; large amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves
C、rich and poor alike; great numbers of people were dangerously overextended themselves
D、both rich and poor alike; vast amounts of people dangerously overextended themselves
E、both rich and poor; great quantities of people were dangerously overextended

答案C

解析 看完划线部分后,我们会发现一个明显的错误,即:A中用quantities来修饰可数名词people,这在语法中是不能接受的,由此点错误,我们就可排除含有此错误点的A、E。同时,在对选项进行扫描的过程中,又发现B、D用amount来修饰people,这同样是不能接受的。因而又可排除B、D。仅剩C可选。B、D、E中:both rich and poor alike的表达是嗦的,因为both和alike在语义上有重复。在本句中,需要提出的是:rich和poor之前并未加the,也可表示一类人的含义。
