Around 1800 in the United States _______ fierce intellectual debate about the direction the new country was taking.

A. a B.There was

我选的A.答案是 B..why?

如果选A，没有谓语。这里的debate是名词，如果是动词，应该用过去时态。

B is also wrong unless it is "there was a"

真老九 · 发表于 2004-5-17 05:16:00

同意，打错了吧

renaissance · 发表于 2004-5-18 01:24:00

没打错呀。B没有" a"

所以我才选的A, 主干：a ....dabate....was taking

刚查了一下字典，确认如下：

答案为B，这里debate作思考讲，为不可数名词，因此前面没有a

was taking 做什么成份？如果答案是B

真老九 · 发表于 2004-5-28 03:33:00

Around 1800 in the United States there was fierce intellectual debate about the direction (that) the new country was taking.

这样可以理解了吧
