问题
选择题
He was really disappointed to find that he had failed to make himself ______, although he tried his best to describe vividly.
A．pay attention
B．paying attention to
C．paid attention
D．paid attention to
答案
答案：D
题目分析：考查分词用法。本题考查了分词在句中做宾语补足语，make的宾语himself与pay attention to构成被动关系。故使用过去分词的形式，to不能省略。句意：他很失望地分析尽管他努力地生动地描述了，但是仍然没有让自己被注意。故D正确。
点评：如果动词与名词之间构成主动关系就使用现在分词的形式。如果二者构成被动关系，就使用过去分词的形式。
