选择题
---___________ everyone present at the meeting? ---No, all but one _________ there.
A.Was; was
B.Were; were
C.Was; were
D.Were; was
答案
答案:C
题目分析:
句意:---每个人都出席会议吗?---没有,除一个人之外,所有人出席了。everyone 强调个体,做主语时,谓语动词用第三人称单数,all强调全部,谓语动词用复数,but作介词,常与nothing, nobody, who, all等连用,意为“除……之外”。如:We had nothing to do but wait. 除了等待之外,我们一筹莫展。 No one but me saw him. 除了我之外,没人看到他,由句意可知选C。
考点: 考查主谓一致的用法。
