Answer 1

C
解析：用not only…but also，neither…nor，either…or連接的并列主語，根據(jù)“就近原則”，謂語動(dòng)詞的人稱和數(shù)要與靠近它的那個(gè)主語保持一致。如：Either Jim or Tom is on the team．由并列連詞and，both…and連接兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的名詞或代詞在句中作主語時(shí)，根據(jù)“意義一致”原則，謂語動(dòng)詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)。如：Both Jim and Tom are on the team．
方法提煉：牢記“就近原則”和“意義一致原則”。
