— Why is your father so busy these days? — He is _________ for my grandfather’s _________ birthday party. A．preparing; ninth B．preparing; ninetieth C．waiting; ninth D．waiting; ninetieth

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：--这些天你的父亲为什么这么忙？--他在准备祖父的90岁的生日聚会。根据问句的时间状语 these days可知答语应该用现在进行时。prepare for…为某事做准备；wait for…等候某事。根据第一句父亲在忙，可知父亲应该是在做准备工作而不是静静地等候。祖夫的生日不可能是9岁生日，故排除A。 故选B。
