Question

【题目】As is known to all, the financial crisis firstly broke out in the United States, __________ the group of developed countries.

A. belonging to B. belonged to

C. belongs to D. is belonged to

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】考查belong的用法。句意：众所周知，金融危机首先在属于发达国家的美国爆发。belong to没有被动语态，也没有进行时。此处belonging to是现在分词作非限制性定语，与句子主语之间具有逻辑上的主谓关系相当于定语从句which belongs to。
