Question

Her money ______, the lazy middle-aged woman began to steal others’ money at crowded places, such as bus stops, stations, airports and ports.

A．had run out	B．running out
C．having been run out	D．ran out

Answer 1

B

考查独立主格结构。句意：由于他的钱花完了，这个懒惰的中年老妪开始在拥挤的地方偷其他人的钱。现在分词表示句子逻辑主语Her money正在进行的伴随性动作，如果动作发生在谓语的动词之前，则要用完成时态的现在分词，run out不能用于被动语态，her money和run out 是主动关系，这句话是独立主格结构做原因状语用现在分词做状语。故选B。
