Question

【题目】A large amount of money ______ spent, and a number of students from the countryside _____ helped.

A. were; wereB. was; wasC. was; wereD. were; was

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：花了一大笔钱，帮助了许多来自农村的学生。

were系动词，主语是复数名词；was系动词，主语是单数或者不可数名词。第一句中主语money是不可数名词，故填was；第二句中，主语部分的中心词students是名词复数，故填were，故选C。
