—Sure. ___________ people get ___________ information from it every day.
A.A large number of; plenty of
B.The number of; a lot of
C.Lots of; a lot
D.Many a; a great deal of
答案
答案:A
考查形容词短语。a number of修饰可数名词复数形式;the number of意为:….的数量;plenty of ,a lot of 和lots of 既可以修饰可数名词也可以修饰不可数名词;a great deal of只能修饰不可数名词;many a 意为:许多,但是后面的谓语动词用单数。所以答案为A。
