想问下这类题。A surge是单数，但是后面的部分是复数，就遵循复数。那如果是a research from + 跟复数，中心词是后面的复数，还是前面的research？动词用单数还是复数？

A surge in new home sales and a drop in weekly unemployment claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought.

1. claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as some analysts previously thought
   
   
   
2. claims suggests that the economy might not be so weak as some analysts have previously thought
   
   
   
3. claims suggest that the economy might not be as weak as have been previously thought by some analysts
   
   
   
4. claims, suggesting about the economy that it might not be so weak as previously thought by some analysts
   
   
   
5. claims, suggesting the economy might not be as weak as previously thought to be by some analysts
   

答案是a

sayysong

这里的主语是 a surge ... and a drop ... 所以用复数谓语动词suggest来的。
