单选题 The number of the stamps ______ limited, so a number of people ______ to have a look at them. a. are; want B. is; wants C. is; want D. are; wants

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] the number of...意思是“……的数字/数目”，介词of同其后名词构成介词短语，修饰the number。当它作主语时，谓语动词用单数。a number of...意思是“一些、若干”(=some)，后接可数名词复数或代词，谓语动词用复数形式。故选C。
