Question

The majority of visitors ______ in favor of his conclusion that the number of books published on the subject ______ simply surprising.

A．were; was

B．was; was

C．were; were

D．was; were

Answer 1

A

试题分析： 考察主谓一致。本题第一空the majority of+名词指….中的大多数。该结构做主语的时候，后面的谓语动词单复数要看名词的单复数，如果是一个可数名词复数形式，要使用复数形式。如果是一个不可数名词或者可数名词单数，谓语动词要使用单数形式。第二空的主语是the number of…指“…的数量”，做主语的时候，谓语动词用单数形式。句意：游客了的大多数都支持他的结论，就是关于这个话题的书的数量正是令人惊讶。故A正确。
