Question

There ________ a pair of shoes under the bed. The shoes ________ mine.

1. A.
   is; are
2. B.
   is; is
3. C.
   are; is
4. D.
   are; are

Answer 1

A
解析：本题考查由pair修饰的名词的数。第一句为there be句型，主语为a pair of shoes，当名词由a pair修饰做主语时，谓语要与pair的数一致，pair为单数，故第一空应填is，排除C、D两项；第二空前主语为the shoes，为复数，故谓语动词应用are，因此选A。
