(单选题，1分) The fact that the child was born _ didn't prevent him from performing well at school.A. weakB. weaklyC. weaknessD. weaken

本题考查动词短语“be born”的固定搭配。关键点在于理解“be born”后需接形容词作表语，表示出生时的状态。选项中需排除副词、名词、动词形式，选择正确的形容词。

选项分析

• A. weak：形容词，意为“虚弱的”，符合“be born”后接形容词的语法要求。
• B. weakly：副词，修饰动词时需搭配动词，此处无动词需修饰，排除。
• C. weakness：名词，无法直接作表语，需通过系动词加形容词的结构表达，排除。
• D. weaken：动词，需转化为形容词形式（如weakened）才可用作表语，排除。

句子验证

完整句子为：
The fact that the child was born weak didn't prevent him from performing well at school.
“born weak”表示“出生时虚弱”，符合语境。
