看樣子要以後面的接的名詞決定，這裡接的是students，a great number of是修飾說"很多"，但重點還是在students，所以要用複數

With the word number, we sometimes use a singular verb and sometimes a plural.

A number of + plural verb

A number of is used with a plural countable noun and a plural verb:

  • A number of people have complained about the price increase.

The same is true with a large number:

  • A large number of protesters were outside the parliament buildingyesterday.
The number of + singular verb
  • It's a popular school and the number of students has risen again this year.
The numbers of + plural verb
  • The numbers of students are rising steadily.
