Question

Andy has __________for five years. Five years _______ a long time. A .left home, is                       B. been away from home, is C. left home, are                       D. been away from home, are

Answer 1

B

考查现在完成时和主谓一致。短暂性动词不能与一段时间连用，必须转换为状态性动词，leave/go转换为be away；five years是一段时间，排除A、C；当时间、金钱、距离等作主语时，常看作单数，谓语用is。句意“安迪离开家已经五年了，五年是挺长的一段时间。”故选B。
