should be used when describing the numbers of objects or when making

• greater than one hundred and more than one hundred fish

• Fewer should be used to describe countable objects but less than when the
objects are not quantifiable (fewer hotels and less real estate)

• number should describe quantities that can be counted and amount should
describe those that cannot (number of people and amount of congestion)..

The verb usage in E isn't incorrect; you can use the verb "to ask" without it
being in the subjunctive form.

is definitely incorrect, and is the kind of pronoun error that's tested fairly regularly.
