Shortly after the accident, two ______ police were sent to the spot to keep order.
A. dozen of
B. dozens
C. dozen
D. dozens of
题目解答
答案
C. dozen
解析
本题考查量词"dozen"的用法。关键点在于:
- 数词修饰dozen时,结构为"数词 + dozen + 名词",此时dozen不加s,且不加of;
- 表示大量时,用"dozens of + 名词",此时dozen加s且必须加of。
选项分析
- A. dozen of:错误。数词修饰dozen时,不能加of。
- B. dozens:错误。数词修饰时,dozen应保持单数形式。
- C. dozen:正确。符合"数词 + dozen + 名词"的用法。
- D. dozens of:错误。dozens of表示"大量",但题目有具体数词two,需用dozen的单数形式。
