A.to indicate B.indicating C.indicated D. having indicated
请详细说明理由，谢谢

Answer 1

你好，同学

正确答案：选A. indicating 表明

即：Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, indicating that a rainstorm was on its way here.

翻译：天空中乌云密布，表明一场暴雨就要来临。

解析：本句用现在分词作状语，对前面的主句进行补充说明。其实就是说当时的乌云密码的情形正表明要有一场暴雨，而to indicate 是不定式，表示将要表明，是不正确的；indicated是过去分词，表示被动，也不对，D项是现在分词的完成时，不必用这种形式。

希望能帮到你，祝更上一层楼O(∩_∩)O
有不明白的请继续追问，可以详谈嘛(*^__^*)

追问

为什么不能选D

追答

现在分词的完成式，一般表示的是已经做过的事情，对现在的影响，而本题是指现在正表明，不是指原来已经表明之后对现在的影响
