Question

The number of the students in our school ________ in the last few years.

A. has fallen    B. had fallen

C. fell    D. has fell

Answer

A

【解析】

句意：我们学校学生的数量在过去的几年里下降了。has fallen下降了，现在完成时态；had fallen过去完成时态；fell是fall的过去式，下降；has fell形式错误。表示“……的数量”的句式，谓语动词用单数，又根据后面的时间状语in the last few years“在过去的几年里”，本句用现在完成时，故选A。
