Question

The number of road accidents and the deaths _____ those accidents _____ over the past years.

A.resulting in; has increased B.resulting in; have increased

C.resulting from; has increased D.resulting from; have increased

Answer

C

【解析】

考查短语辨析主谓一致和非谓语动词。句意：在过去几年里，起因于那些事故的交通事故和死亡的数量已经增加了。A. resulting in; has increased导致，已经增加；B. resulting in; have increased导致，已经增加；C. resulting from; has increased起因于，已经增加；D. resulting from; have increased起因于，已经增加。结合句意可知，第一空考查短语result from“起因于”，此处用现在分词作为road accidents and the deaths的后置定语；第二空是句子谓语动词，由over the past years“在过去几年里”判断为现在完成时，the number of“……的数量”作主语时，谓语动词是单数形式，故选C项。
