问题
单项选择题
The police accused him of setting fire to the building but he denied ______ in the area on the night of the fire.
A.to be
B.to have been
C.having been
D.be
答案
参考答案:C
解析:动词deny要求名词或动名词作宾语,所以只有having been正确。此处用完成式表示be in the area发生在过去,句子里已有明确的时间on the night of the fire。句意为:“警察指控他纵火焚烧大楼,但他说发生火灾那天晚上他不在那一带。”
