基本上好像沒有一個mechanism去decide單複數
要看what到底是要表示一個單數還是複數去決定謂語的單複
3rd floor的question(其實是OG10#211)比較容易決定:
What is....is...
What are...are...
因為what是what從句的主語也是主句的主語, 所以從句跟主句的單複一定會一致
6th floor的question比較難決定:
what是know about的object, 同時是主句的subject.
只看結構不看意思, what可單可複
看意思的話, what是指**一個**knowledge, 那個knowledge就是the bony house of the brain located in the back of the skull, 不多不少, 就一個knowledge
conclusion: what的單複要看句意....
