Question

The firemen told us the difficulty they had ___ the fire ___.

A.to get; under control  B.getting; controlled  C.got; controlled  D.getting; to control

Answer 1

B

解析:

因为they had…是定语从句,代替difficulty的that已省略。根据句型have difficulty in doing sth.可知，选项A和C是错的；又the fire与control是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾语补足语。
