Question

Dina, __________for months to find a job as a waitress, finally took a position at a local advertising agency.

     A. struggling       B. struggled        C. having struggled  D. to struggle

Answer 1

C

解析:

考查非谓语动词。该空分词短语作时间状语，其逻辑主语Dina与struggle为主动关系，故排除B项。由句中的finally可知非谓语动词表示的动作发生在句中谓语took a position之前，故用现在分词的完成主动式，即选C项。
