______ himself with too much homework, he had no time to participate in outdoor activities. A．Being occupied B．Occupied C．Occupying D．To be occupied

Answer 1

C.

试题分析：本题考查分词作状语。occupy oneself with sth. 或者be occupied with sth. 意为“忙于某事”。 句子主语he是occupy himself的执行者，故用现在分词；若将题干中的himself去除，句子主语he则是occupy的承受者，此时应该用过去分词。此类动词常见的还有：dress, seat, devote, concern, prepare, lose, expose 等。因为课后作业太多，所以没有时间参加户外活动。occupying himself…是原因状语。本题答案C.
