Question

It is said that the early European playing-cards __________ for entertainment and education.

A.were being designed
B.have designed
C.have been designed
D.were designed

Answer 1

【答案】：D

本题考查动词的时态。该句要表达的意思是：据说欧洲早期的扑克牌是为了娱乐和教育而设计的。“the early European playing cards”，欧洲早期的扑克牌显然不是现代的，并且扑克牌是被设计的，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，故此题选择D。
