Question

Everybody except the two young boys __________ shocked by the bad news. People looked at each other in __________.

A．was; silence

B．were; silence

C．was; silent

D．were; silent

Answer 1

A

試題分析：句意：除了那兩個年輕小伙子之外每個人都被這個壞消息震驚了。人們彼此之間沉默地看著對方。Everybody做主語，后面的謂語動詞用單數形式，即was，in science為沉默的，不出聲的；故選A。
