一道英语题，求大神解答

Question

for the first time,large()of people say they want to cut off on working hours。
A.numbers B.amounts C.figures D.quantities

Answer 1

这题选A 我之前见过这句话的翻译。
整句话的意思：起初，很多人说他们想缩减工作时间。
large numbers of 【固定搭配】很多，大量的 选A
large amounts of + 不可数名词 排除B
large figures of 这词组没有“很多的意思”。做了这么多年的题还没怎么见过这样的搭配。排除C

Answer 2

选择A
意思是大量的，large amounts of 修饰不可数名词 large numbers of 修饰可数名词

Answer 3

large numbers of 大量的+可数名词
large amounts of 大量的+不可数名词
例句：
Large numbers of books always depressed her
Large amounts of money were wasted.

追问

可是amount 不是跟不可数名词吗
