Question

【题目】Three fourths of the bread _____ by Bob, and the rest of the bread _____ left on the table.

A.was eaten; wereB.were eaten; was

C.were eaten; wereD.was eaten; was

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

考查主谓一致。句意：鲍勃吃了四分之三的面包，其余的留在桌子上。分数词、the rest后跟of短语作主语时,动词的数按照of后面的名词决定单复数，两句话中of后名词为bread，故谓语动词用单数形式。故选D。
