Her eyes were a deep brown, as were the curls that ___ around her head. (clustering)
题目解答
答案
这道题考查的是词汇的正确形式和用法。句子的意思是:“她的眼睛是深棕色的,围绕在她头上的卷发也是深棕色的。”我们需要填入一个动词的形式来描述卷发的状态。
原句中的空格需要填入“clustering”的适当形式。根据句子的结构,这里需要一个现在分词来作定语,修饰“curls”(卷发)。现在分词作定语时,表示主动或正在进行的动作。在这里,“clustering”表示卷发围绕在她头上的状态,符合句子的语境。
因此,填入“clustering”是正确的。
完整的句子是:
Her eyes were a deep brown, as were the curls that **clustered** around her head.
解析:
- “clustered”是动词“cluster”的过去式,但在这里用作过去分词,表示卷发围绕在她头上的状态。
- 由于“curls”(卷发)是复数名词,且句子的时态为一般过去时,因此动词也应使用过去式“clustered”。
最终答案:
Her eyes were a deep brown, as were the curls that **clustered** around her head.
