Question

---___________ everyone present at the meeting?      ---No, all but one _________ there.

A．Was; was	B．Were; were
C．Was; were	D．Were; was

Answer 1

C

試題分析：句意：---每個人都出席會議嗎？---沒有，除一個人之外，所有人出席了。everyone 強調個體，做主語時，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數，all強調全部，謂語動詞用復數，but作介詞，常與nothing, nobody, who, all等連用，意為“除……之外”。如：We had nothing to do but wait. 除了等待之外，我們一籌莫展。 No one but me saw him. 除了我之外，沒人看到他，由句意可知選C。
考點: 考查主謂一致的用法。
