Question

___________ famous Chinese songs, such as The Love Song of Kangding and Jasmine Flowers, were sung during the concert.

A.A number of B.The number of C.A great deal D.a great deal of

Answer

A

【解析】

句意：音乐会期间唱了许多著名的中国歌曲，如《康定情歌》和《茉莉花》。

考查形容词短语。A number of一些，后接可数名词或不可数名词；The number of ……的数量，动词用三单形式；A great deal大量，后不接名词；a great deal of大量的，后接不可数名词。根据后面的were可知，此处不是表达“……的数量”，故排除B；根据句意及后面的such as The Love Song of Kangding and Jasmine Flowers可知，空处是表达“大量的”；根据空后的songs可知，空处应该用修饰可数名词的a number of。故选A。
