问题 The number of people invited ________ fifty, but a number of them ________ absent for different reasons.

选项 A、were; was
B、was; was
C、was; were
D、were; were

答案C

解析 本题考查主谓一致。前一个分句主语部分的中心词是the number of,表示数量,是单数名词,要用单数谓语;而后一个分句主语部分的a number of意为“许多的”,中心词是其后的复数名词,要用复数谓语。句意:被邀请的人的数量是五十,但他们中的很多人由于各种原因缺席了。
