Question

There are ________ food on sale in the trade fair.

A．a(chǎn) great many	B．lots of
C．a(chǎn) great deal of	D．large quantities of

Answer 1

D

試題分析：A. a great many許多，修飾可數(shù)名詞；B. lots of大量的，修飾可數(shù)或是不可數(shù)名詞；  C. a great deal of 許多，修飾不可數(shù)名詞；     D. large quantities of大量的，可接可數(shù)或是不可數(shù)名詞，但無(wú)論接那種，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞都用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故選D.句意：在商品博覽會(huì)上有大量的食物在出售。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：a quantity of意為“大量的”后面如果接單數(shù)名詞或是不可數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，如果后面接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式；而large quantities of后面可接可數(shù)或是不可數(shù)名詞或是單數(shù)名詞，而謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)都用復(fù)數(shù)，與quantities保持一致。
