Question

With a lot of difficult problems___________, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.

A.settled　　　　　　　 B.settling

C.to settle　　　　 D.being settled

 

Answer 1

C

本题考查“with+复合宾语”作原因状语，用不定式to settle作宾补，表示还没发生的动作。而过去分词settled则表示已经完成的动作，与句意不符。故正确答案为C。

句意：有很多难题要解决，刚当选的校长正面临困难的日子。
