定语从句词法问题

The number of people who own cars is increasing

The number of people who own cars are rich

people who own a dog is increasing

people who own a dog are friendly

A lot of people who own a dog are cute

A lot of people who own a dog is increasing

我的理解是都是说一群人,但是一个是针对人来修饰所以主句谓语是用复数are,另一个说一件事情一个现象看作一个整体所以是用主句单数is修饰。求解请问老师的看法是什么,为什么一个用is 另一个用的是are?

The number of people who own cars is increasing (句末加句号后,句子正确,The number是主语)

The number of people who own cars are rich (错误,The number是主语,系动词能够用 are,表语可以用 rich 吗?

people who own a dog is increasing (错误)

people who own a dog are friendly (错误:people是复数概念,后面可以用 who own a dog吗?

A lot of people who own a dog are cute(错误,原因同上)

A lot of people who own a dog is increasing(错误,A lot of people是主语,助动词能够用 is吗?
