选择题
It will be one of the nations worst affected by climate change, as________ of the country ________ below sea level.
A.two-fifth; is
B.two-fifth; are
C.two-fifths; is
D.two-fifths; are
答案
答案:C
考查分数和主谓一致,分数的分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子大于一,分母是复数,所以五分之二是two-fifths;主语被分数修饰时,谓语要和分数修饰的名称一致,就是the country,所以用单数。选C。
