The number of the teacher invited _____ twelve, but a number of them ___ late 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…指“…的数量”;做主语的时候,谓语动词使用单数形式;a number of…指“许多…”修饰可数名词复数形式,在句中做主语时,谓语动词使用复数形式。句意:被邀请的老师的数量是12,但是很多老师都因为各种原因迟到了。故C正确。
点评:本文考查了名词number的两个不同的短语,The number of…指“…的数量”;做主语的时候,谓语动词使用单数形式;a number of…指“许多…”修饰可数名词复数形式,在句中做主语时,谓语动词使用复数形式。这两个用法是考查的重点,要多加识记。
