Question

The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he ___ experience.

A. was lack of B. was lacking in C. lacks of D. was lacking of

Answer 1

B

解析:

be lacking in是习语，意为"缺乏"，其后通常接experience, frankness,

courage等抽象名词。选a是错误的，因为lack可用做名词和动词，但不用做形容词；选c是错误的，因为lack用做动词时，它是及物动词，其后不用介词(注：用做名词的

lack后可接介词of)；选d是错误的，因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。lack of＋名词： The plants died for lack of water.
