176. As a result of the ground-breaking work of Barbara McClintock, many scientists now believe that all of the information encoded in 50.000 to 100.000 of the different genes found in a human cell are contained in merely three percent of the cell's DNA.
(A) 50,000 to 100,000 of the different genes found in a human cell are contained in merely
(B) 50,000 to 100,000 of the human cell's different genes are contained in a mere
(C) the 50,000 to 100,000 different genes found in human cells are contained in merely
(D) 50,000 to 100,000 of human cells' different genes is contained in merely
(E) the 50,000 to 100,000 different genes found in a human cell is contained in a mere
This question poses two problems: subject-verb agreement and accuracy of expression. Choice E, the best answer, states the matter clearly and grammatically. The subject, all of the information, must be taken as singular because the mass noun information is singular. Choices A, B, and C all mistake the number of the subject and incorrectly use the plural verb are contained. A, B, and D do not make it clear whether 50,000 to 100,000 represents all or a fraction of the genes in a cell. C and D, by referring to cells in the plural, do not make it clear whether the number mentioned is to be found in each individual cell or in a collection of cells.

和正确答案相反，我认为165应该用单数，因为percent==>is，176用复数genes==>are，有没有谁帮我分析一下？谢谢！

还有这2题the的位置也很奇妙，154题也是考the的位置的。觉得很难判断，只能排除。

mm没有看清楚这里的主语。

og165的主语是incomes, 是复数。og176的主语是information, 不可数，是单数。

也问：a source of pride for a community  这里的“pride”什么意思呢？“群”的意思吗？

I think in the correct answer "(C)  where 49 percent of the household incomes are ", ' percent' is subject of the sentence. What is wrong with me?

BTW，I think ‘pride’means 自豪。

If an amount is 10 pencent of a larger amount, it is equal to 10 hundredths of the larger amount.

楼上的意思是凡是碰到percent的都要这么转换，然后谓语用复数？

觉得好牵强啊

要从逻辑意思上去理解，percent表达比较特殊。

台灣的補習班老師說

A percent of B V..

V要根據B來判斷

也就是 百分比後面的名詞
        決定動詞的單多數

大家參考參考

unclekin

percent of, some of, five sevenths of等短语的动词单复数取决于of后面所跟的名词或代词
