Answer 1

【答案】

 children

 set up

 bought

 towards

 the

 answering

 who

 while

 politely

 was sent

【解析】

 children 由left Dave a lot of money 可知，David的叔叔没有自己的孩子。

 set up 指“创办”公司。

 bought 由前面的found和后面的and moved可知，三个动词是并列的，即A，B and C。

 towards 由heard someone coming 可知，是“朝着”他的办公司走过来，较表示“到达”的to要好。

 the 特指他办公室的那部电话。

 answering 表示“接”电话，习惯上用answer，因be busy doing可知，用answering。

 who 定语从句，先行词是人someone，且在定语从句中作主语，用who。

 while 由后面的waited可知，进来时David还在打电话，所以用while。

 politely 修饰动词waited用副词，在形容词后加ly。

 was sent因send与I是被动关系，且是到此之前领导派我来的。
