Quantity can be used to modify countable nouns as well as uncountable nouns.When it is the subject of a sentence, the form of the verb is consistent with the singular and plural forms of quantity.

First sort out that and when, both if and whether are willing to be "whether or not", but you can only use whether instead of if in the subject clause and the predicative clause, such as : It is not certain whether he will come to help us.Use whether in this sentence instead of if.

The analytical answer is D, quite a lot means "quite a lot".The relationship between the two sentences should be a turning relationship.Therefore choose D.

Quite cannot be used with comparative forms, only much, far, rather, a lot, a little, a bit, etc. can be used, and it cannot be used to modify comparatives except quite better when expressing health.
