单选题 The owner and editor of the newspaper ______ the conference.
  • [A] were attending
  • [B] were to attend
  • [C] is to attend
  • [D] are to attend


【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查主谓一致。由and连接两个并列成分表示同一人或事物时,谓语动词用单数,否则用复数。在本题的题干中,the owner和editor of the newspaper指的是同一个人,即一人兼两职,并非两个人,因而谓语用单数,由此可知答案为[C]。如果是指两个人,则为:the owner and the editor。
