Question

The lady said she would buy a gift for her daughter with the ________. A．20 dollars remained..

The lady said she would buy a gift for her daughter with the ________. A．20 dollars remained B．20 dollars to remain C．remained 20 dollars D．remaining 20 dollars

Answer 1

D

D，由于 remain 为不及物动词，所以包含过去分词 remained的A和C不宜选(因为两者均含有被动意味)；选项B也不宜选，不定式to remain 用作修饰 20 dollars 的后置定语，由于彼此之间有逻辑上的动宾关系，故不妥（因为 remain 不及物）。现在分词remaining 的意思是“剩下的”。
