Question

The fire ______ at might was still seen ______ the next morning

1. A.
   breaking out; burning
2. B.
   to break out; to burn
3. C.
   broke out; burnt
4. D.
   had broken out; burning

Answer 1

A
考查固定短语和感官动词。句意“那场夜里暴发的火灾，到第二天还在燃烧。”fire和break out是主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语；be seen doing“被看到正在做某事”。故选A。
