"Mr.Smith has two ________ ,both of whom are teachers in a school."
A.brother-in-law
B.brother-in-laws
C.brothers-in-laws
D.brothers-in-law
答案D
解题思路:复合名词复数的构成方式有:
1)将主体名词变为复数,如:fathers-in-law岳父,passers-by过路人,lookers-on旁观者;
2)无主体名词构成的复合词,在词尾加复数,如:grown-ups成年人,good-for-nothings无用的人,go-betweens中间人,look-outs守望者;
3)由man,woman,lord构成的复合名词应将前后两个词都变为复数形式,如:man doctor-men doctors,woman singer-women singers,lord mayor-lords mayors.
