The number of people invited to the party ____ fifty, but a number of them ____ absent for different reasons.
A.were; wasB.was; wasC.was; wereD.were; were
C

试题分析:考查主谓一致:the number of是“…的数量”,谓语是单数,a number of是“许多,大量”后面接可数名词复数,谓语也是复数,句意:被邀请参加会议的人的数量是50人,但很多人因为不同的原因缺席了,选C。
点评:在英语中,句子的主语和谓语动词要保持数上的一致关系,叫主谓一致。这种关系通常要遵循下面三条原则:1.语法一致原则。句子的主语是单数形式,谓语动词要用单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语动词用复数形式2.意义一致原则即谓语动词该用单数还是复数取决于主语所表达的内容在含义是单数意义还是复数意义。3.邻近原则谓语动词该用单数还是复数形式,取决于最邻近它的名词、代词或其它词的数。
