The secretary worked late into the night, ___a long speech for the president.

A. to prepare

B. preparing

C. prepared

D. was preparing

网友回答

B

解析:

句中worked已经是谓语动词了,如果选D,句中就有两个谓语动词了,所以D错误。

现在分词表主动,过去分词表被动。由于“the secretary”与“prepare”是主动关系,所以C错误。

如果选A,就是动词不定式表示目的,如果选B,就是现在分词表示伴随状态。由于“worked”的实质就是“prepare a long speech for the president”,所以选A显然不符合句意。
