Question

Master Fred chose a sunny sloping bank        with a thick growth of bushes, and ________ there a nice little hen-house

1. A.
   covered, fixing
2. B.
   covering, fixing
3. C.
   being covered, fixed
4. D.
   covered, fixed

Answer 1

D
第一空考查过去分词做定语，covered修饰a sunny sloping bank，因为a sunny sloping bank和cover是被动关系，第二空填fixed和chose是并列关系，句意是：弗莱德选择了一个阳光明媚的长满的密密的灌木丛的斜坡，并在那装了个漂亮的小鸡舍。选D。
