Answer 1

A
试题分析：考查find oneself done,过去分词作宾语补足语。分析其宾语与补足语之间的关系：动作未发生用不定式；动作已发生用分词，主动关系用现在分词，被动关系用过去分词。句意：在工作面试中，申请者常常发现自己被问到意想不到的问题，一些很难回答。
考点：非谓语动词
点评：“find+宾语+宾补”的用法：
“find+宾语+宾补”这一结构中的宾语补足语可以由现在分词、过去分词、名词、形容词、副词、介词短语以及不定式to be等来充当。分别举例如下：
（1） You will find it a very difficult book.
（2） The youth found it a hard problem to think about.
（3） When he came to himself, he found himself surrounded by a group of boys.
（4） I hope to find you in better spirits when we meet again.
（5） I find the Chinese people to be happy and cheerful.
注意：find+宾语+宾补这一结构中通常不使用动词原形来充当宾语补足语，即没有“find+宾语+动词原形”这样的结构。
