Question

To celebtate her mother’s birthday, she prepared ______ drink and cakes, sharing with neighbours.

  A. a large number of    B. a great deal of  

  C. a large quantity of    D. a great many

Answer 1

C

解析:

a large number of 和a great many后只能接可数名词复数；a great deal of 后只能接不可数名词；a large quantity of后既能接可数名词复数又可接不可数名词。由drink and cakes可知，答案应为既能接可数名词复数又可接不可数名词的选项，故答案为C。
