Question

【题目】—Why were the whole family away from Wuxi last week?

—Well, the mother, as well as her sons, ____________ (try) out for the singing program.

Answer 1

【答案】was trying

【解析】

句意：——为什么上周全家人都离开无锡？——嗯，母亲和她的儿子们正在参加唱歌节目的选拔。

考查时态，try out for参加……的选拔，根据前面一句were可知时态应该是过去时，根据句意，应该用过去进行时表示过去正在发生的事情，故答案为was trying。
