Although the first part of the book is easy, the rest ______.

A.are difficult

B.is supposed difficult

C.has proved difficult

D.have been found difficult

【答】the rest 意为“剩下的东西”、“其余的”，形式上是单数，总是要有 the 。

We only use three rooms. The rest of the house is empty. 我们只用三间屋子，房子里的其他屋子都空着。

......

当 the rest 指复数名词时，用复数动词。

There are four chocolates for Penny, four for Joe and the rest are mine. 四块巧克力给彭尼，四块给乔，剩下的是我的。（不能说：... the rest is mine. ）

（以上摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第四版569节）

答案是：A.are difficult （题中的 the rest 指书中除了 the first part 以外的所有各部分）

我会选C。主谓一致问题属于“重形式而轻实质”一类的，既然rest是单数的，谓语就用单数形式。
