people were found     after the Wenchuang earthquake.
A.A number of; diedB.The number of; died
C.A number of; deadD.The number of; dead
C
a number of與the number of,
它們修飾名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)的數(shù)是不一樣的。
 。1)a number of為量詞短語(yǔ),表示“許多……”,中心詞是這個(gè)短語(yǔ)所修飾的復(fù)數(shù)名詞,所以作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
(2)the number of表示“……的數(shù)量”,中心詞為number,指的是of后邊名詞的數(shù)量,數(shù)量是個(gè)抽象概念,因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
