試題分析：考查主謂一致。句意：大量的食物和蔬菜被送往中國南方那里人們從一月中旬就一直遭受暴風雪。Food和vegetables既有可數(shù)也有不可數(shù)名詞，而large quantities of/a large quantity of, plenty of都既可以修飾可數(shù)名詞又可以修飾不可數(shù)名詞。區(qū)別是：“l(fā)arge quantities / a large quantity of+n.” 作主語時， 謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)依據(jù)quantity的單復(fù)數(shù)而定，而不看它所修飾的名詞；“plenty of+n.”作主語時， 謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)依據(jù)后面所接的名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)而定。A great deal of 只可修飾不可數(shù)名詞，作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)。選A。
