請問以下句子的verb to be應用singular還是plural?
1) The life expectancy at birth in these four countries is larger than others.
2) The life expectancy at birth in these four countries are larger than others.
想問應用is還是are, 因為lift expectancy at birth是singular, 但我想講係四個國家既 lift expectancy at birth

應用單複的動詞is,因為主詞是the life expectancy
in these four countries是「修飾語」,修飾先行詞the life expectancy(預期的壽命),不影響這個名詞的「不可數」性質。不可數的名詞是視為第三人單數的。
