I’ve been told that the medical team, ______ five doctors and ten nurses, _______ sent to the flood-stricken area.
A.consisted of; are to be
B.is consisted of; will be
C.consisting of; is to be
D.consists of; will be
答案:C
题目分析:本句中的动词短语consist of(由…组成),是用来修饰名词the medical team,因为该动词短语没有被动语态和进行时,只能使用现在分词短语consisting of修饰the team;本句中把the team作为一个整体来看,使用单数形式。句意:我已经被告知,由5名医生和10名护士组成的医疗小组将被派到被洪水袭击的地区。故C正确。
