解析
本题考查知识点为动词“inherit”的正确时态和形式运用。解题思路是根据句子中的时间状语“At the age of 18”来判断句子时态,然后分析每个选项中动词形式是否符合该时态。
- A选项:“At the age of 18”表明事情发生在过去,一般过去时中动词要用过去式。而“inherit”是动词原形,这里应该用“inherited”,所以A选项错误。
- B选项:“inherited”是“inherit”的过去式,与“At the age of 18”所表示的过去时间相匹配,句子时态和动词形式都正确,所以B选项正确。
- C选项:“will”是一般将来时的助动词,后面要接动词原形,而“inheriting”是现在分词形式,所以C选项错误。
- D选项:“inherits”是一般现在时的第三人称单数形式,与“At the age of 18”所表示的过去时间不符,所以D选项错误。
