Question

【题目】Shortly after suffering from a massive earthquake and ________ to ruins, the city took on a new look.

A．reducing B．reduced

C．being reduced D．having reduced

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

试题分析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空格处应与前面的suffering并列，作介词after的宾语，同时动词reduce与逻辑主语the city之间构成动宾关系，所以用动名词的被动形式，故选C项。
