答案与解析
Part I
1.选are;“a number of 复数名词”作主语时，后面的谓语动词用复数形式
2.选is ;law and order 在这里作一个整体，所以谓语动词用单数形式
3.选is;“many a 单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式
4.选is;表示一段时间、一段距离、一些金钱的主语通常看作一个整体，后面谓语用单数形式
5.选have;both…and…连接的名词作主语，后面谓语动词用复数形式
6.选is;“the number of …”的意思是“……的数量”，是单数意义
7.选 is;集合名词family 在这里强调的是一个整体，所以谓语用单数形式
8.选 are;“分数 of 名词”做主语时，后面谓语的单复数形式根据of后面的名词来定
9.选 was;本句中主语是no one, except his tow brothers作修饰成分，所以谓语动词用单数形式
10.选 has;“more than one 单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式
