Question

Under the environment of fierce competition, the only way John could imagine ________ stress was to get tougher by making greater efforts.

A．handling	B．to handle
C．handled	D．having handled

Answer 1

B

B 考察非谓语动词。句义：在激烈的竞争环境里，John想到的能够应对压力的唯一方法就是通过努力让自己更加强大起来。John could imagine为插入语，the way to do sth/of doing sth为固定搭配。此处的动词不定式做后置定语。故B正确。
