(A)excited
(B)it excited
(C)exciting
(D)would excite
(E)it had excited
Choice C is best. The third verb phrase in the series describing bulls and cows should have the same grammatical form as the first two. Only choice C has a present participle (or "-ing" form) that is parallel with the two preceding verbs, receiving and fetching. Instead of the present participle, choices A and B use the past tense (excited), choice D uses an auxiliary verb (would excite), and choice E uses the past perfect tense (had excited). Additionally, the incorrect verb tenses in B and E are introduced by a pronoun, it, that lacks a logical noun referent.
查了下好像没人讨论过,还是我已从根本上错了?og 上说A 错是因为时态错误,可我理解得excited 是过去分词。不是说现在分词和过去分词可以并列,用哪个取决于主语是动作发出者还是承受者吗?bulls and cows 不就是excit的承受者吗,为什么不用excited,而用exciting呢,急等回复,谢谢啦
