这些词是单复同形的吗

还是说如果复数，必须用Russians, Frenches

the French [plural] people from France

Russian1[countable] someone from Russia
2[uncountable] the language used in Russia

French一般是指复数，跟一道机经题里的the Shang是一样的。

Russian指人应是可数，故我认为单独用是有问题的。最近有道机经提到了个by Russian, 我看到另一个版本是by the Soviet government, 原先的可能记错了。

，a famous writer,(_______).
a. (was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Russian in attempting to stop him from writing another book.)
b. (was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Russian in its attempt to stop him from writing another book.)

如果是government  B 的指代就没有问题了。   A 的in attempting to 实在很别扭，

tulipmontreal

B是RUSSIAN也没问题 这种用法很多 RUSSIAN用作单数

请指教

PF!

attempt作分词用词典里查不到(只有进行时态）；It指代Russian词典里也没查到！
