half of...和 some of...的主谓一致问题

Half of the class__________ most of the work, and some of the work__________ difficult.

A. has done, is B. have done, is C. has done, are D. have done, are

怎么看是half of the class 是强调整体还是个体呢？似乎都可以解释！

Half of the class have done most of the work, and some of the work is difficult.

the class 指“全班同学” ，是复数概念。

你的逻辑分析能力哪里去了？如果class是不可分割的整体，还会说half of 或 some of 吗？

组成class的人是可数的，其一半自然是复数意义。work不可数，其中一部分还是不可数。所以答案为have done, is。

以下为《朗文》例句：

Over half of the children live in one-parent families.

Only half the guests had arrived by seven o’clock.

If you look at our members, at least half are women.
