问题选择题

So desperate _______ that no one could help another, each ________ to save himself and his animals.

A．was the situation; was trying

B．the situation was; trying

C．was the situation; trying

D．the situation was; was trying

答案

答案：C

题目分析：考查倒装句和独立主格结构：句意：形势是如此绝望以至于没有人能帮助别人，每个人都想救自己和他的动物。第一空用倒装句，因为so+形容词放在句首，后面用部分倒装，第二空不加be动词was是因为后面并不是一个完整句子（完整的句子与句子在英文里不能用逗号隔开），后面只是一个伴随状态，或者说是补充说明，each作主语直接跟doing。选C。
