Question

The dictionary is really useful. Every boy and girl _____ it and they each _____ to buy one.

A. like, want　　　　　　　 B. likes, wants

C. likes, want　　　　　　　 D. like, wants

 

Answer 1

C

因为按英语习惯，every 后接两个并列的单数名词作主语时，谓语动词要用单数，即第一空填 likes；而第二空要填复数动词 want，是因为其前的主语是 they 而不是 each（each 为主语的同位语）。
