问题补充:
单选题Thebosspraisedtheyoungmanforhishardwork,thoughhe___experience.A.was lack ofB.was lacking inC.lacks ofD.was lacking of
答案:
B解析be lacking in是习语,意为缺乏,其后通常接experience, frankness,courage等抽象名词。选a是错误的,因为lack可用做名词和动词,但不用做形容词;选c是错误的,因为lack用做动词时,它是及物动词,其后不用介词(注:用做名词的lack后可接介词of);选d是错误的,因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。lack of+名词: The plants died for lack of water.
