Question

【题目】The government stared pushing for closure of orphanages, to place children in private homes, hopefully with relatives.

A.having preferredB.to preferC.preferringD.Preferred

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

考查非谓语动词。句意：政府开始推动关闭孤儿院，优先把孩子放在私人家庭里，并希望和亲戚在一起。句中逻辑主语The government与prefer之间为主动关系，且与句中谓语动词started同时发生，所以用现在分词作状语。故选C。
