. As a result of destroying the forests, _____ desert _____ covered the land. A．plenty of; has B．a great number of; have C．a great deal of; have D．a good many; has

A


考查固定短语和主谓一致。句意“破坏森林的后果之一就是，大片的沙漠已经覆盖了那块土地。”plenty of修饰可数名词或不可数名词；a great number of修饰可数名词；a great deal of修饰不可数名词，谓语用单数；a good many修饰可数名词。故选A。

d 考查主谓一致。large number of 后面要跟可数名词复数，而desert是不可数名词，排除a,c；large quantities of+不可数名词作主语，谓语动词和quantities保持一致，要用复数。所以选d。
