The old black woman used to tell stories under the tall tree, her grandchildren ______ around and ______attentively.

A.seating; listening

B.seated; listened

C.seating; listened

D.seated; listening

答案

答案:D

her grandchildren ______ around and ______attentively 在句中做状语,动词应用-ing或-ed (过去分词)形式,状语部分的逻辑主语为her grandchildren, seat作动词时意为“容纳、使就座”,不合题意,故先排除选项A和C, seated意为就座的、坐着的 ,此处为形容词做状语 ;第二空listen与逻辑主语构成主谓关系,故用其-ing形式,而且,listen为vi.,没有过去分词,也不是与used to 或tell相并列的成分,因此排除B项。
