Question

Canada is a country?many different nationlities

Canada is a country ? many different nationalities as well as one with foreign immigrants ? the majority of its population.
A．making up of; occupied with B．consisting of; making up
C．made up of; consists of D．consisted of; taking up
第一空怎么看？？？

Answer 1

第一个空可以填consisting of, 也可以填made up of。两个词组形式不一样，但意思完全一样，都是“由...组成”。这句话的谓语是is, 因此，后面不可能再用谓语，而只能用非谓语，即现在分词或过去分词，作定语，修饰country, 说明是一个什么样的国家。

我是这么看的：Canada is a country which is made up of/which consists of =made up of/consisting of 对不对？？？

追答

完全正确，你将定语改成了定语从句。

Answer 2

选择B
