Question

3. Nobody except Tom and Mary _______ in the classroom. The other students are watching the basketball game on the playground now.

A. am       B. is      C. are

Answer 1

3.   B考査主谓一致。在英语中，当主语后有With， together with, along with, except, besides, as well as等单词或短

语时,谓语动词的数要和这些单词或短语前面的名词或代 词的单复数保持一致。前一句中的主语为nobody，因此谓语动词用单数形式is。故选B。
