问题 The number of guests invited ______ a hundred, but a number of them ______ absent for different reasons.

选项 A、were, was
B、was, was
C、was, were
D、were, were

答案C

解析本题测试的是主谓一致的用法。全句的意思是：“被邀请的客人人数是100名，可是其中有很多人由于各种不同的原因而缺席。”the number of意为“……的数目”，作主语谓语动词用单数；a number of意为“许多”，后接名词作主语时谓语动词用复数。根据句意，应选答案C。
