The number of people invited____fifty,but a number of them____absent for different reasons. A.were;was B.was;was C.was;were D.were;were

解题思路： the number of意为“……的数量”，后接复数名词，所构成的短语作主语时，谓语动词常用单数形式，因为该短语中的number是中心词。例如：The number of the motorbikes in our town is increasing.(我们镇上摩托车的数量在增加。)a number of意为“大量的，许多”，number前可用large修饰，of后接复数名词，亦可写成large numbers of,所构成的短语作主语时，谓语动词常用复数形式，因该短语中的名词是中心词。例如:A number of young trees were planted on the hills around our village last year.(去年我们村四周的山上栽了很多小树。)
