Although the government's expenditures on law suits involving tobacco companies amounts to a sum dramatically lower than that spent by tobacco companies, many believe that the government should allocate no more funds to a battle they perceive as pointless.

A - expenditures on law suits involving tobacco companies amounts to a sum dramatically lower than
B - expenditures on law suits involving tobacco companies amount to a sum dramatically less than
C - expenditures on law suits involving tobacco companies amount to a sum dramatically lower than
D - law suit expenditures regarding tobacco companies amount to a dramatically lower sum than
E - law suit expenditures against tobacco companies amounts to a sum dramatically lower than

"sum" is an uncountable noun ...isn't it ??

'the government's expenditures' should take verb in plural form i.e. amount to and hence A& E are out.

now, in B the use of 'amount to a sum dramatically less than' is correct

in C, 'amount to a sum dramatically lower than' is not correct use

D is awkward

Comment please on my explanations. Correct me if I am wrong.
