单选题 Many a writer of newspaper articles ______ to writing novels.
A. has turned B. have turned
C. have been turned D. has been turned

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] many a是比较陈旧的说法,后面的名词应用单数,谓语动词也相应用单数,因此B项和C项应予以排除,例如:Many a man has sacrificed his life for the cause of liberation. 许多人为了解放事业献出了生命。D项虽也用单数,但turn to一般不用于被动语态,例如:Lu Xun once majored in medicine, but later he turned to writing. 鲁迅曾经学过医,但后来转向了写作。所以D项错误而A项正确。
