问题描述:

There ( ) a small number of students in the classroom.
括号里的BE动词应用?

are 《a small number of students 》是复数

用is。
The group also says it is best if there is a small number of students for each teacher.
该组织还是如果每个老师能针对为数的不多的孩子这样效果就最好了。

主语students是复数.所以BE动词应用are

must be
表推测

这里的be动词不受students前面的修饰词影响,student可数,这里又用的是复数,be动词就该选择are.
