Question

【题目】We ____ to paint the whole house but finished only the front part that day.

A. set about B. set up

C. set out D. set up

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们开始刷整个房子，但是那天只完成了前面的那部分。A. set about 开始；B. set up 建立；C. set out 开始，出发；D. set up建立。根据句意可知，此处用表达“开始”意思的短语，set about和set out均有此意，但set about后跟doing，set out后跟to do，故选C。
