If law and order ,neither the citizen nor his family is safe
问题描述：
If law and order ,neither the citizen nor his family is safe
为什么要用被动的is啊 有谁给讲讲
原来没有复制上去不好意思这是个选择题If law and order __ neither the citizen nor his family is safe
a.are not preserved b.is not preserved c.were not preserved d.have not been preseved
答
估计选b 因为law and order是一个泛指的概念,而且要用现在时
is只是谓语,相当于"是",safe是形容词,此句可精简为"A是B"仅是陈述不是被动.
另,the citizen和his family可指称同一群人,例如the father and friend既是父亲也是朋友,所以可为单数.
