单选题 The family ______ at the lunch table when someone came to tell them what had happened at
  • A. were sitting; Mr. Brown
  • B. were sitting; Mr. Brown's
  • C. was sitting; Mr. Brown
  • D. was sitting; Mr. Brown's


【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[专家点评] the family是集合名词，表示一家人，所以是复数，排除C、D。Mr. Browns表示布朗一家人，而再加上名词所有格表示布朗家，根据句子里的at应该选布朗家，故答案选B。
