Câu hỏi:
Many girls want to go to the pub only a minority ______ to watch TV at home now.
- A. want
- B. wants
- C. is wanting
- D. to want
Lời giải tham khảo:
Đáp án đúng: B
Đáp án B
Kiến thức về thì động từ
Thông thường, “minority” thường đi với “of” và khi nó làm chủ ngữ sẽ chia động từ theo danh từ đi sau “of”, nhưng trong trường hợp này, nó chỉ đi một mình. Và khi đó, với nghĩa “một nhóm rất ít người/vật trong một tập thể nhiều hơn”, số lượng thường chỉ ít hơn một nửa trong số toàn thể, đứng ra làm chủ ngữ thì động từ sẽ chia số ít. Mặc dù trong Anh – Anh, người ta vẫn chia số nhiều được nhưng ở đây ta xét đến đa số, do đó đáp án B là chính xác hơn cả.
Note: Mặc dù có “now” là dấu hiệu của thì hiện tại tiếp diễn, nhưng với “want” là động từ chỉ “cảm xúc, tình cảm, ham muốn” nên không chia nó ở dạng tiếp diễn được trong ngữ cảnh này
Tạm dịch: Bây giờ rất nhiều cô gái muốn đi tới quán nhậu và chỉ một số ít người muốn ở nhà xem TV.
