6.[单选题]He was determined not to sour a perfectly good day with the memory of one jealous classmate trying to ___ a fool ___ him in front of the entire class.
A. made...out of
B. be making...of
C. make...out of
D. make...of
题目解答
答案
C. make...out of
解析
本题考查固定短语“make a fool out of sb.”的用法以及“try to do sth.”这一结构。解题思路如下:
- 首先明确“try to do sth.”是固定用法,表示“试图做某事”,其中to后面要接动词原形。
- 接着看“make a fool out of sb.”这个固定短语,它的意思是“使某人出丑”。
- 对各选项进行分析:
- A选项“made...out of”,“made”是“make”的过去式,不符合“try to do sth.”中to后接动词原形的要求,所以A选项错误。
- B选项“be making...of”,“be making”是现在进行时态,与“try to do sth.”的结构不匹配,且不符合此处语境,所以B选项错误。
- C选项“make...out of”,“make”是动词原形,符合“try to do sth.”的结构,同时“make a fool out of him”构成了正确的固定短语,所以C选项正确。
- D选项“make...of”,“make a fool of”虽然也有“愚弄某人”的意思,但在本题语境中,“make a fool out of sb.”更能准确表达“让某人在全班面前出丑”的意思,所以D选项不合适。
