Question

---How is Sandy? She stayed at home_____ the meeting last Sunday.
---- Yes. She is much better now.

A．instead of attend	B．instead of attending
C．because attending	D．because of attend

Answer 1

B

试题分析：句意：Sandy好吗？她上个星期天呆在家，而没去参加会议，是。她现在好多了。instead of和because of后面都要用动词的-ing形式。because后跟从句。 故选B。 
考点: 考查介词短语的理解。
