A large number of children ________ stan...

A large number of children ________ standing outside the office when I got there.  The number of the children _____ 2,500.

A. is; are    B. is ; is    C. are ; is    D. are ; are

 

C 【解析】此题考查a number of与the number of的区别。它们修饰名词作主语时,谓语的数是不一样的。a number of为量词短语,表示“许多……”,中心词是这个短语所修饰的复数名词,所以作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。the number of表示“……的数量”,中心词为number,指的是of后边名词的数量,数量是个抽象概念,因此谓语动词用单数。根据语境的含义可知选择C。
