1. After gradual declension down to about 39 hours in 1970, the workweek in the United States has steadily increased to the point that the average worker now puts in an estimated 164 extra hours of paid labor a year.
(A) After gradual declension down
(B) Following a gradual declension down
(C) After gradual declining down
(D) After gradually declining(D)
(E) Following gradually declining
解释:following一般作介词,这里应用连词after, 后面用动名词,故D is correct.
可是我怎么觉得这里明明应该用介词嘛,连词不是要连接一个整句的吗,这里并没有主谓结构呀 |
