谓语动词单复数与of前面的名词单复数保持一致,因为of前面的名词才是中心名词?
比如:
apple of this kind 单数,表“一个这种苹果”
apples of this kind 复数,表“一堆这种苹果”
apples of these kind 复数,表“一堆的这几种的苹果”
请问以上理解是否正确?

【答】several kinds of cards = cars of several kinds 数种车 (摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版 p.925)
Cars of that kind are very expensive. (同上)(这是非正式用法,最好尽量不用。更常用的说法是: Cars of those kinds are very expensive. 或 Those kinds of cars are very expensive. )
an apple of this kind 单数,表“一个这种苹果”
apples of this kind 复数,表“这种苹果”
apples of these kinds 复数,表“这几种苹果”
请注意主谓语一致(sort, kind, type 可以互换):
This sort of car is ...
These kinds of car(s) are ...
Cars of that type are ...
