( )112.Everyone except Tom and John ______ there when the meeting began.
A.is B.was C.are D.were 为什么选B不选D呢?

B
主语是Everyone,复合不定代词,视作单数.
你也可以这样记：
当主语是用with,together with,as well as,like,besides,except,but等连接的两个词时,谓语动词与第一个词一致,即“就前一致”.如 Tom with his classmates is playing outside./ Mr.John as well as his students is talking in the office.
