Question

To make believe that there was still someone in the house, the housewife went downstairs, ______ the lights ______ in the living room.

A．left; burnt

B．leaving; burning

C．leaving; burnt

D．left; being burnt

Answer 1

B

这题考查非谓语动词，第一空填leaving是现在分词做结果状语，第二空填burning是现在分词做宾语补足语，词组是leave +宾语+现在分词，表示动词和宾语是主动关系，句意是：为了让人相信房间里还有人，他妻子去楼下，让起居室的灯一直亮着。选B。
