C. every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were
正確答案是C, 我也選對, 但是我的問題是 位什麼紅字部分不是there is 而是複數there are, 知道的人 可以幫我解答一下嗎???

there be的单复数形式由后面的名词决定,后面是 one microcomputer for every 32 pupils,即主语是one microcomputer ,所以用单数.可是后面说的four times as many as there were four years ago,是说全部的computers available for pupils,是现在和过去所有电脑持有数量的比较,所以用复数.个人意见!
