Question

【题目】Not only the students but the teacher _________ so excited when they saw Dora run the first.

A. is B. are C. was D. Were

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

试题分析：句意:不仅学生们而且老师也是如此的激动，当他们看到 Dora跑了第一名时。not only… but also…不仅，而且，连接两个并列的主语时，应根据就近原则，与最近的主语保持一致，故这里应该跟the teacher 的形式保持一致，应该用单数，且时态是一般过去时态。故选C。
