OG11-138 单复数的问题

amy7777

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

(A) often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again

 (B) whose reputation declines after death and never regains its status again

 (C) but whose reputation declines
            after death and never regains its former status

(D) who declines in reputation after death and who never regained popularity again

(E) then has declined in reputation after death and never regained popularity

请问主句是复数，为什么后面的从句是单数动词呢，为什么 composer是单数而不是composers呢？

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives-----，but whose reputation declines ---

examples后面跟着的都是单数形式，为什么呢？？？？？

composer在of后面表示性质，所以是单数而且必须是单数，后面的who是来修饰composer的定语从，所以必须是单数，包括that引导的也是一样，要看他所解释的那个词语的单复数来确定后面的动词。

谢谢，

我好像有一点明白了。

但是我查了字典，composer

composer
n.
作家, 作曲家, 设计者, 著作者

composer在of后面表示性质，所以是单数而且必须是单数，？？？

are examples of the kind of composer ？？？？怎么理解呢？？？？一种作曲家的例子吗？？？

吼吼，斑斑来了，欢迎。

谢谢。

再看一遍大家的解答，我好像有点明白了，知道后面的从句肯定是用单数，但是这个are examples of the kind of composer 一种作曲家的例子们？？昏。。。。

examples是复数，后面怎么能够of单数呢，

就差那么一小点我就能想透了，但是还是不得其解。

别笑我啊，能说得大白话一些吗，脑细胞严重不够用。

Joachim Raff and Giacomo Meyerbeer are examples of the kind of composer who receives popular acclaim while living, often goes into decline after death, and never regains popularity again.

goes into decline修饰的是the kind of composer.

中心词是the kind of.所以用的是单数.

如果理解错误,还请指正

混混狗

一种类型的多个例子，不行吗？
