Question

With a lot of problem ________, the newly – elected president is having a hard time.

A．settled

B．settling

C．to settle

D．being settled

Answer 1

C

考查with的复合结构；本题比较难。句意为：因为有很多问题要解决，这位新当选的总体将遇见很大的困难。本题容易错选A，认为问题与解决之间存在被动关系，用过去分词。实际上因为解决问题这个动作是后面主句的主语所做，这里我们应该使用主动形式。相当于：Because he has a lot of problems to settle.这个原因状语从句。
