Why don’t you put the meat in the fridge ? It will _____ fresh for several days. A．be stayed B．stay C．be staying D．have stayed

Answer 1

B

stay这晨是系动词的用法，不用被动形式。根据本题设空之后所执着续的形容词fresh判断，选项所给动词stay为系动词（="to" continue or remain in a place ,position or condition——COLLINS NEW ENGLISH DICTIONARY）, 因此，很容易排除A项（系动词不可能使用权用被动语态）；从句意看，说话人向对方提出建议（Why don’t you…？），然后阐明依据（the meat will…），应该是stay 的一般形式，而不会是进行式（C 项be staying）或完成式（D项have stayed）。
