Answer 1

remains（剩下的东西，遗址，废墟） of … 谓语用复数。
如：
The remains of dinner are still on the table.晚餐的剩饭菜还在桌上。
The remains of the old castle have been rebuilt.古堡的废墟已经被重建了。

feast是可数还是不可数名词？
--答：是可数名词。
如：The king held a feast.国王举行了一个盛大的宴会。

问题补充：请讲明此题,谢谢!Scattered over the floor ( )the remains of the evening's feast.
[选A,本句是个倒装句，你先把它还原就可以看清楚了：The remains of the evening's feast were scattered over the floor.(那个晚宴的剩饭菜分散得地板上到处都是。)，所以，本句的主语是remains，根据上面所说的，remains是复数名词，所以谓语动词用复数，先排除C,D。又根据意思理解，要用be动词，所以排除B,选A]
A.were B.had
C.was D.is

Answer 2

remains of sth. example:remains of the day朝花夕拾
remain一般用复数remains
谓语要看时态啊.一般现在时的话,跟remains of 后面跟的sth.有关, 不可数的单数, 可数的复数.
feast节日, 可数, immovable feasts固定节日(如圣诞节)
movable feasts活动节日(如复活节)
