Question

As the night is falling, a long queue stood at the bus stop, nervously expecting _______ .

A．to pick up

B．picking up

C．to be picked up

D．being picked up

Answer 1

C

考察expect的用法。Expect to do sth .此处expect的逻辑主语是a long queue 一长队的人， 与pick up 之间是被动关系，所以选择C
句意为，当夜幕降临的时候，一长队的人站在车站里，焦急地等待被车接走。
