Not only the children but also their father in town.

如果是,为什么their father 是为单数,就因为father 没加s...

支持“就近原则”,强调的是 他们的父亲也在城里,所以要用is

在由not only…but also…, not just…but…, or, either…or…, neither…nor…连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中,谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理,即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如:
Not only John but also I am going to Shanghai next week.   
 Either you or she is to go.
答案选A.根据就近原则,与谓语动词最靠近的主语就是their father.是单数,故用is.句中father是这些孩子的父亲,用单数.

因为孩子们是同一个父亲啊,所以就用单数.not only but also的谓语动词是就近原则啊,所以是is吧

not only...but also这个句型要就近原则father距be动词较近,所以用单数.如果the children和father位置调换就用are。
