A．Large quantities of; are sent to	B．A large quantity of; are sent to
C．Plenty of; is sent to	D．A great deal of; are sent to

Answer 1

A

试题分析：考查主谓一致。句意：大量的食物和蔬菜被送往中国南方那里人们从一月中旬就一直遭受暴风雪。Food和vegetables既有可数也有不可数名词，而large quantities of/a large quantity of, plenty of都既可以修饰可数名词又可以修饰不可数名词。区别是：“large quantities / a large quantity of+n.” 作主语时， 谓语动词的单复数依据quantity的单复数而定，而不看它所修饰的名词；“plenty of+n.”作主语时， 谓语动词的单复数依据后面所接的名词的单复数而定。A great deal of 只可修饰不可数名词，作主语时，谓语动词用单数。选A。
