Question

求助一道英语语法题。

He opened his lips as if ____ some reply.
A.making B. having made C. to be made D. to make
选啥呢？

Answer 1

He opened his lips as if ____ some reply.
A.making B. having made C. to be made D. to make
这道题应该选择D
句子意思是：他张开嘴巴好像将要做一些答复。
as if 可用于省略句中如果as if 引导的从句是“主语+系动词”结构，可省略主语和系动词，这样as if 后就只剩下名词、不定式、形容词（短语）、介词短语或分词。
例如：Tom raised his hands as if （he was going） to say something． 　
　汤姆举起手好像要说什么。
希望能够帮到你。

Answer 2

B

Answer 3

as if 后面省略了he was
