Question

【题目】A young man was found __ at the corner of the street. The police tried to find out how he______.

A.dying; diesB.was dying; deadC.dead; diedD.died; died

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

句意：一个年轻人被发现死在街角。警方试图查明他的死因。

考查形容词和动词时态辨析。die死亡，dying是现在分词形式，died是过去式；dead死去的，形容词。前空用dead表状态；后句how引导宾语从句，从句缺谓语动词，根据主句时态可知用过去式，故选C。
