There are a small number of people involved, possibly ______twenty.

A.as few as

B.as little as

C.as many as

D.as much as

答案

A

句意为:涉及少量人员,可能就20个。as…as 后接数字,译为“达…”。由题干中的a small number of可知,说话者语意着重“少”的概念;而little 修饰不可数名词,few修饰可数名词。所以A项正确。

【考点定位】不定代词的考查。表肯定意义有many, much, a few, a little;表否定意义有few, little 。修饰可数名词的有many, few, a few;修饰不可数名词的有little, much, a little。例如:It is too expensive. Moreover, she has little money left. 另外注意:quite a few 相当多;not a little 许多。
