问题
选择题
I’m afraid nobody but his parents or Jim, his best friend, _____ the secret.
A.are going to tell
B.have told
C.has told
D.have been told
答案
答案:C
该题涉及到主谓一致的问题。当主语是单数形式时,后面跟(together) with, as well as ,but, except, rather than等词语,无论这些词语后面带复数形式还是单数形式,谓语动词仍然用单数,故正确答案为C. nobody是不定代词,应该看作单数。本句可以理解为“除了他父母或Jim, 没有人说出这个秘密”。
