Question

一道关于定语从句的题,
The Smith family,which _ rather a large one ,_ very fond of their old house.
A.were were B.was were C.were was D.was was
为什么选B啊?

Answer 1

was 因为 后面的large one 看到one就是单数,当然就是was了,表示曾是个大家族,大家庭,是一个整体
后面是were因为 这个家里的人为他们的房子感到骄傲,题目里又一次给了线索----their
家庭作为一个集合概念,是个整体,但不能代表家庭里各个成员,更不可能代表他们的想法了 并且这里题目每个空后面都有很明显的标志
