标题: sc主谓一致-OG19-739 in some types of pine tree, a thick layer of needles protects

In some types of pine tree, a thick layer of needles protects the buds from which new growth proceeds; consequently they are able to withstand forest fires relatively well.

a thick layer of needles protects the buds from which new growth proceeds; consequently they are able to withstand forest fires relatively well

a thick needle layer protects buds from where new growth proceeds, so that they can withstand forest fires relatively well

a thick layer of needles protect the buds from which new growth proceeds; thus, they are able to withstand relatively well any forest fires

since the buds from which new growth proceeds are protected by a thick needle layer, consequently they can therefore withstand forest fires relatively well

because the buds where new growth happens are protected by a thick layer of needles, they are able to withstand forest fires relatively easily as a result

请问大家这个a thick layer of needles 在这里是是layer还是needle做protect的主语呢？如何分析这种xx of xx形式的主语呢？之前有一个a set of strings又是看strings。。有点迷茫。

这个我也很搞，说点我自己的看法。
到底谁是protect的主语其实看意思，我个人觉得在这个题里面layer或者needle做protect主语都说得通。意思上的区别其实不大：
1）layer做主语就是把a thick layer of needles看做一个整体，类似于His family is a big one.——family里面有好几个成员，但这边看做一个整体；
2）needle做主语强调单个的needle，类似于His family are sitting around the table.——这边强调的是家庭成员。
个人觉得，主谓一致并不是这个题的主要考点，OG的答案里面都没提到这个谓语单复数的问题，而且其他的错误选项不靠主谓一致也能排除掉。

prep里面有个类似的题目：
In Hungary, as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in middle management and light industry.
as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of which are in
as with much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, many in
as in much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many of them in
like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women works, and many are
like much of Eastern Europe, an overwhelming proportion of women work, many are in
答案是C
RON关于到底是work还是works的解释如下：
it depends on MEANING.
all you have to do is THINK VERY LITERALLY.
if the PROPORTION ITSELF did something, then "proportion" itself is the subject, and you use a singular verb:
the proportion of filipinos living in milpitas has increased --> it's the actual proportion that has increased (filipinos can't "increase")
a large proportion of the filipinos in milpitas work in san jose --> the filipinos themselves work (a proportion can't work)

我对于这种结构单复数的看法是：
如果题目真的在考主谓一致（别的错误都没有就动词单复数不一样），可以参考Ron的方法解题
如果其他选项有各种问题，不单单是动词单复数不一样，那我觉得优先看其他的错误，主谓问题先放放。有什么不对的欢迎讨论~
