The ways in which students hurt themselves in school _____________ the topic of the teacher’s meeting yesterday.
A. is B. are C. was D. were
其实奏是 was vs were, 请赐教，多谢！
Were 因为主语The ways是复数
我怎么觉得topic是主语?
was
觉得用 was, 因为是指 “The ways in which students hurt themselves in school” 这个话题。
名校试题, 答案是 was, 但俺不肿么理解。英文外面卖的试题, 很多时候答案是错的。
跟着学习了，觉得是was
无论放was还是were都是语法错误
在网上找了很多, 也没有找到明确说法, 说 ways 是一个 singular noun。ways 可以是 means 吗?
答案是”was“，“The ways in which students hurt themselves in school”是主语，整体放在一起看作为单数，因为后面是” the topic”，而不是”the topics”, 所以”the topic” 就间接的给出了答案。 “was” 是be 动词的过去式，作为谓语，而“the topic of the teacher’s meeting yesterday“是宾语。
was ,就近原则,看school还是schools.
谢谢以上各位的解答。俺还是不能理解 主语+主语从句 奏是单数主语的结论。
而 topic 的说法却有一定道理。那是不是说, 单数主语必对应单数宾语, 复数主语必对应复数宾语?
答案是 WAS。因为 topic…
