_________ people were found ________ after the big earthquake. A．A number of; died B．The number of; died C．A number of; dead D．The number of; dead

Answer 1

C

试题分析：本题的含义是大地震之后发现许多人死了。A number of表示许多的意思，修饰可数名词复数，find 的补语通常可以用形容词来承担，死亡的形容词是dead，故本题选C。 点评：在英文中，a number of表示许多的意思，而the number of表示的是……的数目，die是动词死亡，而dead是形容词死的，注意它们的使用和区别。
