Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

There was a 28 percent reduction in amount of butterflies overwintering in Mexico.

in amount of butterflies
from amounts of butterflies
in the amount of butterflies
from the amount of butterflies

Explanation

Answer: C - The best choice is “in the amount of butterflies”

Without an article before “amount,” this sentence is unclear. “From” is not an appropriate replacement for an article. Use the definite article - “the” - because it refers directly to the amount of butterflies.
