Question

【题目】(2012·全国Ⅱ) We __________ to paint the whole house but finished only the front part that day.

A. set about

B. set up

C. set out

D. set down

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查动词短语辨析。set out后接to do sth, 意为“着手做”，句意：我们开始粉刷整个房子，但是那天只完成了前面部分。set about后接doing sth, 意为“开始做”；set up 意为“建立”；set down 意为“写下；记下”。
