Walking down the street, they encountered several groups of boys, who ____ them with silent curiosity. (contemplation)
题目解答
答案
contemplated
解析
本题考查单词的正确形式。根据句意,他们在街上行走时遇到了几个男孩,这些男孩用沉默的好奇心注视着他们。"contemplation"是名词,意为"沉思,凝视",而句子中需要一个动词来描述男孩们的行为,因此应使用"contemplation"的动词形式"contemplate"。同时,由于句子的时态为一般过去时,所以动词应使用过去式"contemplated"。
