Question

Just as we were about to___,the captain came and ___.

A)lose hope ;took charge B)lose the hope;in charge
c)lose our hope;took the charge D)lose hopes;took charge of
讲明白 D对吗

Answer 1

Just as we were about to__A_,the captain came and ___.
翻译： 我们正准备放弃时，船长来了并指挥起来。
语法：-- --- be about to do sth when +句子（用一般现在/过去时）==JUST AS SB.IS / WAS TO DO STH,+主句（用一般现在/过去时）
b 是不对的。lose hope 的hope前面不加人称代词
lose hope:：失去信心，放弃。

追问

为什么不是took charge of

追答

你好。如果用take charge of, of 的后面必须加宾语，但你的句子里took charge的后面没有宾语，所以，句子只能写到charge为止
但he took charge of the ship,因为有了宾语the ship,所以就必须写of -----of +宾语the ship.
明白了吗？

Answer 2

A
因为我感觉took the charge听起来有点怪...
