When the president and his delegation left the country,_______of people were at the airport to_______．
- A.thousand；see off them
- B.thousands；see off them
- C.thousand ；see them off
- D.thousands ；see them off
正确答案及解析
正确答案
D
解析
本题考查数词的用法和固定搭配。句意：当总统和他的代表团离开国家时，成千上万的人在机场为他们送行。hundred，thousand，million等在构成“具体的数字”时不用复数形式；只有在表“概数”时才用复数形式。一般的搭配都是hundreds／thousands／millions of+名词的复数。see sb．off意为“为……送行”，当sb．为代词时，放在see和off中间。
