Question

Dina, _______ for months to find a job as a waitress, finally took a position at a local advertising agency.（ ）

A. struggling　　　 B. struggled　　　 C. having struggled D. to struggle

 

Answer 1

C

 

该空，分词短语作时间状语，其逻辑主语Dina与struggle为主动关系，故排除B项。由剧中的finally可知非谓语动词表示的动作发生在句中谓语took a position之前，故用现在分词的完成主动式。
