試題分析：考查主謂一致，a number of+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，表示“很多“，后面的謂語(yǔ)是復(fù)數(shù)，the number of+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，表示“…的數(shù)量”后面的謂語(yǔ)是單數(shù)，所以第一空填was第二空填were，，句意：被邀請(qǐng)參加會(huì)議的人的數(shù)量是100人，但很多人因?yàn)榇笱┻t到了。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：考查主謂一致的考點(diǎn)比較多，也比較碎，平時(shí)記憶的時(shí)候要細(xì)致，這題是考單復(fù)數(shù)同形的名詞，做題時(shí)結(jié)合修飾詞判斷是單復(fù)數(shù)，從而決定謂語(yǔ)的形式。
