Question

While shopping, people sometimes can’t help ____ __ into buying something they don’t really nee.

While shopping, people sometimes can’t help ____ __ into buying something they don’t really need. A．to persuade B．persuading C．being persuaded D．be persuaded

Answer 1

C

本题考查非谓语动词。persuade是及物动词，后面要加人做宾语。没有人做宾语时，要用被动形式；由此可排除A、B项；再结合句意“当人们去买东西时，有时候禁不住别人的劝说买了不是真正需要的东西。”可知句中的 can’t help 意为“禁不住”,此时后接doing形式，故选C项。
