SAT语法求解,谢.
First run in 1867 and still taking place every summer,the Belmont Stakes,a horse
race for thoroughbred three-year-olds,【was】 one of the oldest races in the United
States.
(A) was
(B) is
(C) were
(D) are
(E) has been
选哪一个选项?为什么?
答案是 B is
a 不可能一件事情以前是最老的,而现在不是最老的,所以用was完全不符合逻辑
c 同上,并且用复数were也是错的
d 复数是错的
e 句子的主干是the Belmont Stakes [] one of the oldest...,这里没有任何标志表明可以采用完成时,比较一下 I am your brother 和 I have been your brother就知道完成时用在这里很滑稽了.
补充:
这个网址里面有人也问了同样的问题并且同时给出了标准答案.
