Manhattan书上介绍collective nouns判断singular or plural的方法是find the clue即在未划线部分找线索
但是如果未划线部分没有提示信息要怎么选择呢?
比如SC 700-800这道题:
The Confederate general Stonewall Jackson led a feared army that idolized him; they all mourned his ironic death from “friendly fire.”
A、him; they all mourned his
B、him; they mourned his
C、him; it mourned his
D、him; it mourned their
E、him, it mourned his
正确答案是C 我选B
我想的是army是集合名词 然后就选了代表plurality的代词they
但是答案解析里说:Like many collective nouns, "army” is singular.
就真的不是很懂 集合名词到底是单数还是复数啊 按照答案这里的说法那就都是singular了?
谢谢大家~
