Question

— How about the suggestion Prof. Smith put forward at the meeting last Friday?

— The committee discussed it for hours without a decision _______.

A. takingB. to take C. being takenD. taken

 

Answer 1

C

【解析】

试题分析：句意：上个星期五史密斯教授在会议上提出的建议怎么样？委员会讨论了几个小时，但并没有做出决定。without doing sth. 没有做某事。Decision和take之间为动宾关系，所以用被动语态，故选C。

考点：考查被动语态和without的用法。
