Question

_____ of the population in this area_____farmers
第一空知道是 two thirds 但第二空是is 还是are呢?是根据population 还是根据farmers呢 我急用~
= =.
还有一题 I've ___called you,but nobody answered
是用just 还是 ever.

Answer 1

要用are.因为分数作主语的时候,谓语动词取决于所修饰的名词,如果后面的名词是不可数名词单数的话,谓语动词用单数；如果后面的名词是可数名词复数的话,谓语动词用复数.
I've ___called you,but nobody answered .这个空用just,表示“刚刚”.
