A couple questions about 突破 and と
Hello!
I've got some questions, while reading some web-novell. Here the excerpt:
『勇者適応テスト』
受けた人は４人を突破。結果もすぐ分かると大人気だ。
CHECK!
＞＞アナタの適性狩場は？
What I'd like to know is:
1. Could 突破 be used as 'to overcome 4 people', implying 'being one of 4, overcome other 3'?
2. As far as I remember, と, as a conjuction, connects only nouns, numeral adjectives and pronouns. But could there be the case, when something like の is omitted, and the entire sentence means 'instant result and great popularity?' Is it possible in general?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I'm sorry if the header not clear enough. =\

1. 突破 means 'breakthrough'. In this sentence, the word can be replaced with like 'top', 'exceed': the participants topped four-mark -> at least four people has taken the test so far.
2. The と is the particle placed after an indirect speech. It plays the similar role to 'that' of 'he says that…', but unremovable. For the detail, search online, and you'll find articles about it.

1.４人を突破＝５人以上at least 5person
2.結果もすぐ分かると大人気だ。＝結果もすぐ分かるというので大人気だ。Because the result is understood soon, it is very popular.
