Question

（2014年(春)重庆市高三考前冲刺测试卷）12. Not only a little girl but also adults ___ a growing appetite for junk food nowadays

A. were having B. have C. has D. was having

 

Answer 1

B

【解析】当not only…but also…引导的短语在句中做主语的时候，谓语动词要和离得教近的那个名词保持一致。本句中要和adults保持一致，所以使用复数形式。句义：不仅是那个小女孩，而且成年人对于垃圾食物也越来越有食欲。A项的时态与句中的nowadays不一致。故B正确。
