问题补充:
I just couldn understand the former mayor the money raised for children in poor areas.
A. taking
B. to take
C. being taken
D. to be taken
答案:
(答案→)A. taking
B. to take
C. being taken
D. to be taken
解析:A 考察非谓语动词。句义:前任市长贪污了给贫穷地区孩子募捐的钱,对于此事我难以理解。现在分词表示主动和正在进行,过去分词表示被动和已经完成。不定式表示尚未发生。因为the former mayor和take之间构成主动关系,且动作已经发生,因此此处应该使用take的现在分词形式。故A正确。
