There____(be) a number of people over there just now.
There____(be) a number of people over there just now.

There____(be) a number of people over there just now.
were 因为a number of 的意思是“许多的,大量的”,它如果做主语谓语动词也是要用复数形式,而这个地方又是用的there be 句型,它遵循的是就近原则,just now表过去,所以填were

were

were

is

are,后面的名词是复数形式,people是一个整体名词

a number of 后接复数可数名词 故谓语动词用复数
just now 意为“刚才”,故用过去式
综上所述,用were

are
people 是可数
