答案为comes about错，but why??

根据句子含义，这里应该改成come from，就是从哪里得到的意思

答案为themselves错，but why??

这里conduct 的宾语不是指people，而是指那个城市，所以指代错误，改成it

现在看来，还是要尽量把句子的意思看懂，才能分辨那些细微的错误。

斑竹，16是不是应该改成comes from比较好啊，因为主语是不可数名词。


同意35题的该法。

呵呵，偶只注意搭配了，应该是原句的时态

第一题，查了一下字典，conduct themselves用法正确，不知道错在哪里，欢迎讨论。


第二题，是comes from

呀呀呀，xdjm原谅我！


刚才confirm了一下原题，原来我把题目打错了，原题是


35、In Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia until 1780, people conducted themself like the gentry in London.



答案为themself错。


conduct yourself
formal to behave in a particular way, especially in a situation where people judge you by the way you behave
He was a player who always conducted himself impeccably, both on and off the field.
