网友回答
A. A great deal
B. A good many
C. Large numbers
(答案→)D. Large quantities
解析：考查固定搭配。A great deal of+不可数名词，“许多，大量”；A good many+可数名词复数，“许多，大量”；Large numbers of +可数名词复数，“许多”；Large quantities of“+可数名词复数/ 不可数名词，“大量”，谓语用复数。time和energy不可数，排除B、C；A项作主语，谓语应该用单数，故也排除A。
句意“大量的时间和精力已经被花在使地震灾区成为一个永久性的博物馆来提醒人们一次自然灾害的危害性有多大。”故选D。
