选择题
There ______ quantities of apples in the basket and there was ______ milk in the bucket.
A.were; a number of
B.was; quantities of
C.was; a good many
D.were; a quantity of
答案
答案:D
题目分析:考查单复数和量词,由主语quantities of apples是复数,所以首先排除B、C ,a number of意思“许多”,a quantity of意思“一些”,句子意思“篮子里有许多苹果,桶里有一些牛奶”
点评:考查谓语单复数是近几年高考的热点,要求学生做此类题时,首先知道主语是单数还是复数,由主语单复数来确定谓语的单复数
