When he came back three hours later, they were still ____on the sofa, _____ in conversation. A．sitting ; absorbing B．sitting ; to absorb C．seated ; absorbed D．seated ; to be absorbed

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查分词用法。Seated adj就坐；be absorbed in…沉浸于…；第一空可以用sitting表示状态也可以用seated。第二空用absorbed修饰they的状态。句意:当他3个小时候回来的时候，他们仍然做在沙发上，沉浸于对话中。故C正确。 点评：分词的用法中很重要的一项就是分词转换的形容词的用法。现在分词转换的形容词修饰事物，过去分词转换的形容词修饰人。
