Question

There are ________ people in the street.

1. A.
   much too
2. B.
   many too
3. C.
   too many
4. D.
   a lot of too many

Answer 1

C
首先，选项B、D都应排除，它们为不正确的短语。选项A“much too”修饰副词，形容词，too many修饰名词。
谈到much too，我们很自然地想到too much，这两者的区别是，前者修饰形容词，副词；后者修饰不可数名词。(too many修饰可数名词)例如：
He felt much too excited at the news.听到这则消息，他简直太高兴了。
You came much too late!你来得太迟了。
There is too much room for you five to live in.你们五个人住，空间绰绰有余。
