—Sure. ___________ people get ___________ information from it every day.

A．A large number of; plenty of

B．The number of; a lot of

C．Lots of; a lot

D．Many a; a great deal of

Answer 1

A

考查形容詞短語。a number of修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式；the number of意為：….的數(shù)量；plenty of ,a lot of 和lots of 既可以修飾可數(shù)名詞也可以修飾不可數(shù)名詞；a great deal of只能修飾不可數(shù)名詞；many a 意為：許多，但是后面的謂語動詞用單數(shù)。所以答案為A。
