In the room ___ a big table and a great many chairs.

题目

In the room ___ a big table and a great many chairs.
A.they are found B.are found
C.is found D.has been found

答案

B.
表示地点的介系词短语放在句首的时候,句子要发生完全倒装,把谓语动词整个都移到主语的前面,形成上述的句子结构,谓语动词的单复数由主语判定,这里的主语是a big table and a great many chairs,是很多东西,是复数,故助动词be也要用复数are,所以选择的是B即are found.
像这种谓语动词包含过去分词表示被动语态的时候,我们常把过去分词连同表示地点的介系词短语一并移到整个句子的最前面,写成：
Found in the room are a big table and a great many chairs.
