Q3.In regard to :about 关于,而 in regards to 不存在;平时记短语时要注意单复数哦!

Q4.“mountain lions are one of the most formidable wild creatures native to North America”
因为lions作为creatures是可数的,所以用one of 是不妥的.
而"rivers are one of our most important natural source."中rivers“河流”作为natural source“自然资源”强调的是一种资源,资源不可数.
因此,不同的用词,其用法也不一样,尽管子面上看去很相似.
