Either you or the headmaster_______ the prizes to these gifted students at the meeting.
A. is handing out B. are to hand out C are handing out D. is to hand out
D
题目分析:考查主谓一致和时态。由连词or, either... or..., neither...nor..., not only...but also...等连接两个名词作主语时,谓语动词的数由邻近的名词或代词来决定,即跟headmaster保持一致,由此可以排除B和C;又因be to do sth.表将来,表示计划,安排,而A项,现在进行时表示将来,是即将,马上要做…,因此答案为D。
点评:主谓一致有就近原则,也有就远原则,不能混用,而这题除了考主谓一致,也考查了时态,主要是一般将来时的不同表达的区别。
