求教，语法大全上的问题

fhr6568

最近作题，有几道题不明白，望高人赐教：

1993年1月

39. Wildlife conservationists say the cover that foliage provides for animals is equal in importance to the food supplying.

Answer: D

Question: " Say the cover ". 我觉得say 后面应该跟一个That, 要不然就改成，Tell the cover.

1993年10月

35. Weaving was a function household in the first settlements in colonial America.

Answer: B

Question: 我认为，在C中，既然是the first 了那么，settlements就因该是单数形式。

39. Wildlife conservationists say the cover[ that foliage provides for animals ]is equal [in importance] to the food supplying. 定语从句

Answer: D

Question: " Say the cover ". 我觉得say 后面应该跟一个That, 要不然就改成，Tell the cover.

按说say后边加宾语从句是要跟引导词that的,在T里.

但是D项错的比较严重.supply本身有名词性质,这里用为动词,和food的关系是动宾关系,所有应改为supplied

35. Weaving was a function household in the first settlements in colonial America.

Answer: B

Question: 我认为，在C中，既然是the first 了那么，settlements就因该是单数形式。

你问的很好,这也是一个重要的语法点:

only/first/single单/复数都可,the first school第一所学校,the first schools第一披学校

the only university唯一的一所大学 the only universities唯一的几所大学

a single sing/two single sings
