The discovery of new evidence led to ___

问题选择题

The discovery of new evidence led to _________.

A．the thief having caught

B．catch the thief

C．the thief being caught

D．the thief to be caught

答案

答案：C

lead to这个词组中to是介词，后面跟名词，于是B被排除，the thief是动名词逻辑上的主语，构成动名词的复合结构，与catch之间应是被动关系，故排除A。常见的带介词to的短语有：(get) be used to, look forward to，look up to, stick to, object to, be devoted to, pay attention to等。
