One student in a hundred _____ (is/are) to be chosen to attend the meeting.
答案是:is,为什么不能用 are?如果按比例,100个当中选1个,那么200个当中就选2个,300个当中就选3个,400个当中就选4个,……应该是可以用单数或复数啊。
没错,你的句子确实应该选单数,因为主语中心词为单数:
One student in a hundred is to be chosen to attend the meeting.
但改一下,像下面这句,则用单数或复数都可以:
One in a hundred students is / are to be chosen to attend the meeting.
