注意要添的词是用来修饰number的,number作为数目在英语中只能有大小,而没有多少,因此有a large/small number of,但没有a many/few/little number of吧,再说后者a many/few number of本身读起来就很别扭,另外不能受汉语影响,说某某大会出席人数很多,似乎也是个病句,因此只有说很大的数目或很小的数目,而不说很多的数目或很少的数目,用short就更没道理了.
当直接修饰人sb时,才用many/few,因此假如要选A few,必须拿掉number of,变成 a few listeners.

选择C 很简单 因为修饰的listeners是可数的 所以只能用large 或者small修饰 不必解释得太多
