题目解答
答案
A
解析
本题考查形容词的选择，需根据语境判断空格处应填入的形容词形式。关键点在于：
- 词性判断：空格修饰名词
success，需填入形容词； - 固定搭配：
resultant和resulting均表示“作为结果的”，但resultant更强调最终结果，常用于正式语境，而resulting更强调因果关系，需与定冠词the搭配（如the resulting success）。
选项分析
- A. resultant：形容词，表示“作为结果的”，可直接修饰名词，常用于正式语境；
- B. resulting：形容词，表示“作为结果的”，但通常需与定冠词
the搭配（如the resulting success）； - C. resulted：动词过去式，不可作形容词；
- D. result：名词或动词，无法作形容词。
语境匹配
句子强调Edison的成功是他不懈努力的最终结果，且空格前无定冠词the，因此选择resultant更符合语境和搭配要求。
