Question

Dina, ______  for months to find a job as a waitress, finally took a position at a local advertising agency

1. A.
   struggling
2. B.
   struggled
3. C.
   having struggled
4. D.
   to struggle

Answer 1

C
解析：
考查非谓语动词。Dina与struggle之间为主动关系，故用现在分词，根据语境分词的动作发生在谓语动词took之前，故用现在分词的完成式。并在句中作状语。句意：Dina奋斗了几个月的时间找了一份女服务员的工作之后，最终她在当地的一家广告公司取得了一个职位。故选C。
