The manager was worried about the press conference his assistant ______ in his place but luckily, everything was going on smoothly. A．gave B．gives C．was giving D．had given

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查时态：从题意“经理很担心助手正在代他参加的新闻发布会，但幸运的是，一切进展顺利，可知，give这一动作和was worried about同时存在，还有everything was going on，说明是过去正在进行，根据题意可知应用过去进行时。选C。 点评：时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语。要根据时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和各种时态的特殊之处。
