Question

【题目】The performance of the host, to please the audience, was greeted with a cold silence.

A. had intended B. intended

C. intending D. to Intend

Answer 1

【答案】B

【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个节目的主持人本打算取悦听众吸引他们的注意，然而确用一个冷酷的沉默向他们问候。intended to please the audience...相当于which had been intended to please the audience。此处是过去分词做后置定语，故答案为B。
