Question

The thief trapped in the house _____ from the window but the fear of falling to his death scared him not to do so.

A．managed to escape	B．tried to run
C．attempted to escape	D．tried escaping

Answer 1

C

考查词组辨析：manage to do设法成功的做，try to do努力的做，attempted to do试图做，try doing试着做,句意是：被困在房子里的小偷试图从窗户逃跑，但害怕摔死让他不敢这么做。B项的run用的不对，选C。
