Question

【题目】There was __________ apples in the basket and there __________ quantities of milk in the bucket.

A. a number of; were B. quantities of; was

C. a quantity of; were D. a good many; was

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】句意：在篮子里有大量的苹果，在牛奶桶里有很多牛奶。quantity构成的短语修饰名词，其谓语动词的人称和数与quantity的单复数保持一致，quantity是单数，谓语动词用单数；quantity是复数，谓语动词用复数。
