Question

He was really disappointed to find that he had failed to make himself ______, although he tried his best to describe vividly.

A．pay attention

B．paying attention to

C．paid attention

D．paid attention to

Answer 1

D

解析试题分析：考查分词用法。本题考查了分词在句中做宾语补足语，make的宾语himself与pay attention to构成被动关系。故使用过去分词的形式，to不能省略。句意：他很失望地分析尽管他努力地生动地描述了，但是仍然没有让自己被注意。故D正确。
考点：考查分词用法
点评：如果动词与名词之间构成主动关系就使用现在分词的形式。如果二者构成被动关系，就使用过去分词的形式。
