问题描述：
A great number of与the great number of
_____children whose parents had died in the earthquake ____sent to live with families in other cities.
A.A great number of,was B.A great number of,were
C.The great number of,was D.The great number of,were
为什么选B,我主要是不明白B与C的差别,希望讲解下.
答
B中A great number of是很多,大量的意思,后面搭配复数
C中The great number 就是……的大数量,描述的事物是数字,是个单数主语
该题中是说很多父母在地震中丧生的孩子
被送去和别的城市的家庭居住.因此需要的是大量的意思.
