【題目】The number of people invited ______ fifty, but a number of them ______ absent(缺席) for different reasons.

A. were; wasB. was; wasC. was; wereD. were; were

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：受到邀請(qǐng)的人數(shù)是五十，但是很多人因?yàn)楦鞣N各樣的原因而缺席。

The number of表示“的數(shù)量”，其主語(yǔ)為數(shù)目，所以后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，而a number of them表示“大量，許多”，后面修飾可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)，后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用復(fù)數(shù)形式；故選C。
