Question

It’s heavy, but I can ________ to carry it upstairs.

1. A.
   try
2. B.
   attempt
3. C.
   succeed
4. D.
   manage

Answer 1

D
本题考查动词辨析。①try to do尽力做某事，不含成功之意。如：Try not to break it. ②manage to do意为succeed in doing sth。③succeed不接不定式。④attempt to do试图做某事。如：She attempted to go on with her work in the house. But she could not. 这里指“尽管重，但我可以把它搬上楼”，故选D。
