标题: 请问一道prep题目
Glaciers form when the snow, sleet, and hail that fall in a given climatic region exceed the amount capable
of being lost through evaporation or melting.
A. the snow, sleet, and hail that fall in a given climatic region exceed the amount capable of being
B. a given climatic region's fallen snow, sleet, and hail exceeds the amount able to be
C. the amount of snow, sleet, and hail that falls in a given climatic region exceeds the amount
D. the snow, sleet, and hail in a given region exceeds the amount able to be
E. a given climatic region exceeds the amount of snow, sleet, and hail that falls and cannot be

oa:C

不理解的是C选项中"that falls in a given climatic region exceeds the amount"that指代的应该是snow, sleet and hail. 动词为什么是单数呢？

同求答案！！当初就觉得这个fall很奇怪。。。。难道不会造成ambiguous么。。而且指代amount的话逻辑上好像也很奇怪

我终于看懂这题了。。。我一直把form看成from了。

我个人感觉that其实指的是the amount，所以在这里为单数。

amount fall？这个逻辑很奇怪啊

我也觉得that指代的应该是the amount，所以fall用的是单数（the amount of ~~~~，核心还是the amount）

顶起来，不懂为什么是falls啊！

作者: 香茶藨子 时间: 2014-6-15 23:21
我觉得falls是修饰hail的吧肯定不说amount啊 amount不能fall呀那就只能就近修饰hail了我当时也因为这个把它排除了

作者: jadeGMAT 时间: 2015-3-20 04:51
顶上。哪位大牛给个解释啊。不明白 C 的 “falls” 是怎么回事

我来搬运一下答案喏，这个是我在GMATLA 底下评论翻到的，希望大家有所收获！同时引用Ron的原意，The OA is always the truth!
两个并列的不可数名词作主语时，其后的谓语动词通常用复数，有时也用单数。
　　使用原则：
　　1. 如果两个不可数名词是指两样东西，则谓语动词用复数；
　　例：Coal and iron are minerals. 煤和铁都是矿物。
　　2. 如果两个不可数名词是指同一事物或同一概念，或因其紧密相关而被视作一个整体，则谓语动词用单数。
　　例：Trial and error is the source of knowledge. 反复试验是知识的源泉。
