A.two thousand                                                B.two-thousands

C.two thousands                                               D.two thousands of

Answer 1

A

解析:

two thousand people homeless 意为“两千人无家可归”。当hundred,thousand,million等数词被数词或several等词修饰时，要用单数形式。所以选项C和D是错误的。选项B中的two-thousands中的thousand要用单数，作定语。
