答案C
解析 语法题。本题意在考查主谓一致。请考生注意the number of+复数名词和a numberof+复数名词在作句子主语时，它两的谓语的数是不同的，前者应该用单数动词，后者则用复数动词。例如：There are a large number of people who support us．The exact number of the new products to be shown at the exhibidon has not been madeknown．此外，the majority of，the rest of，part of，half of，most of，all of+名词或代词作句子主语时，谓语动词的数取决于of后面的名词或代词的数，例如：The majority of the water has been wasted．The majority of the students like English．而a portion of，a series of，a pile of，a panel of+名词或代词作句子主语时，谓语动词则通常用单数，例如：A．series of traffic accidents hasbeen reported recently．A．pile of bucks was served at last．最后端上来一盘子荞麦饼。
