We had to find our way to get out of the jungle because our food and water were_______.

A.giving out B.using up C.taking up D.running out
说明一下原因 谢谢

Answer 1

D.running out

give out和take up都不是用光的意思

run out可以用物做主语，并且用主动语态：

被用完；耗尽If something runs out, it becomes used up so that there is no more left.

Conditions are getting worse and supplies are running out... 情况越来越糟糕，贮备物资也快用完了。

Time is running out. 时间不多了。

而use up虽然有用光的意思，但是应当用人做主语
如果用物做主语，要用被动语态
