Question

Something as simple as______some cold water may clear your mind and relieve pressure.

A. to drink                          B. drinking                         C to be drinking       D. drunk

Answer 1

B

解析:

考查动名词作主语的用法。句中的Something as simple as drinking some cold water共同作主语，谓语是clear和relieve。不定式虽然也可以作主语，但在此题中有as…as结构，所以要选择和something较一致的动名词而不是不定式。答案是B项。
