Question

【题目】_______ the meeting himself gave them a great deal of encouragement.

A. The president will attend B. The president to attend

C. The president attended D. The president’s attending

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

试题分析：考查动名词复合结构作主语。由gave可知该句缺主语，而ABC三个选项都不能做主语，所以排除。动名词复合结构可以在句中充当主语或者宾语，构成形式为：名词或代词所有格+Ｖ-ing;句意为:总统亲自参加会议给了他们极大的鼓励。故选D。
