10. means何時是單數何時是復數

All possible means ______ been tired.

Every possible means ______ been tired.

A. have, have            B. has, has                C. have, has              D. has, have

此題應選C。名詞means(方法)的單復數同形, 用作主語時, 其謂語的單復數要視具體含義而定：

1. 如果means與all, such, these, those等詞連用, 則其含義應該是復數：

These means are very good. 這些方法很好(www.hz123456.com)。

Such means sound interesting, but in fact they’reimpossible. 那樣的方法聽起來有趣, 但實際上是不可能的。

2. 如果means與a, such a, this, that, every等詞連用, 則其含義應該是單數：

Such a means is really unpleasant. 這樣的方法確實是令人不愉快。

There is an effective means of doing it. 做此事有一種很有效的方法。

3. 有時從句意和上下文無法確定means 到底是單數還是復數, 則其謂語用單數或復數均可以：

做這事還有其它的什么辦法嗎?

正：Are there any other means of doing it?

正：Is there any other means of doing it?

沒有好的方法。

正：There is no good means.

正：There are no good means.
