Question

The meeting was put off because we ____a meeting without John.

A.objected having B.were objected to having
C.objected to have D.objected to having
为什么选D不选B,这两者有什么区别吗

Answer 1

object 表示“反对；不赞成”时，作 vi ，表示“提出反对意见”时，作 vt ， 常接从句：
No one objected to the idea.
I object to all this noise.
We object to leaving in such a hurry.
He objected to being treated like a guest.
"Do you object?" "No, we don't object."
I object (against him) that he is too young for the work.
It may be objected that not enough manpower is available.

object to 是固定搭配表示提出反对意见，to是介词，后面加动名词或名词，所以可以先去除A和C
又因为The meeting was put off 中有was，说明是过去式，后面也是用过去式。
如果选择B表示WE被动了，这里的意思是我们反对的意思，只需用过去一般式，并不需要用被动。

Answer 2

首先object to意思是反对，介词后面必须接动名词形式，所以排除A和C选项。

就因为是过去时，所以用一般过去时，故选择答案 D。

例如：

We objected to leaving in such a hurry.
我们反对这样匆忙地离开。

Answer 3

d
试题分析：考查词组和动名词：句意：会议被推迟，因为我们反对约翰没有来就开会。首先object
to意思是反对，介词后面必须接动名词形式，故选择答案
d。
