More and more people will fall in panic, as the expert predicts, if not properly.

A. comforting

B. comfort

C. comforted

D. being comforted

答案：

A. comforting

B. comfort

(答案→)C. comforted

D. being comforted

解析：考查非谓语动词，句意：按照专家的预测越来越多的人会陷入恐慌，如果不被适当安慰的话。根据语境被安慰，应用过去分词，所以用comforted前省略了they are，故选C。
