问题补充：

In that train accident, who were killed was more than 2000.

A. a number of people

B. the number of people

C. many people

D. a large number people

答案：

A. a number of people

(答案→)B. the number of people

C. many people

D. a large number people

解析：考查主谓一致。本题的谓语动词是was，说明主语是单数。AC项都是复数形式。没有a number的结构，所以D项也错误。The number of…指“…的数量”，做主语，谓语用单数形式。句意：在那次火车事故中，被杀死的人的数量超过了2000.故B正确。
