10. Corn originated in the New World and thus was not known in Europe until Columbus found it _____.

Answer 1

C，以免，他走地慢以免摔倒，但fall一词的形式不对，过去时态fell，就算用一般现在时也是用falls。
C，拒绝，被动语态，其它的请自行查找一下。
A，非谓语动词，过去分词表示被动，break down 不需用被动语态，=The car appeared to have broken down which was seen from a distance.
A，find一词可以用于接动名词或过去分词表示正在进行中、持续状态或已经完成、被动，这里用being表示持续状态，be cultivated是被动语态，被种植，因为这里需要用ing形式暗指corn是一直存在或种植的，所以没有直接用过去分词。
