语法与词汇 3.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? (2015-53)

A、 Only one out of six were present at the meeting.
B、 Ten dollars was stolen from the cash register.
C、 Either my sister or my brother is coming.
D、 Five miles seem like a long walk to me.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】考核主谓一致。B和D选项中的主语ten dollars和five miles均为整体的概念，故谓语动词都需要用单数，所以D选项错误，A选项中主语由“one out of+复数名词”构成，在正式文体中，动词用单数，在非正式文体中，动词也可按“就近原则”用复数，C项中either…or…连接的并列结构做主语，动词按照“就近原则”处理。
