Question

这里是填 to place ,placing 还是 placed?
There,（ ）neatly besides the empty dish,were two nickels and five pennies her tip!

Answer 1

placed这句的结构是：
There were two nickels and five pennies her tip placed neatly besides the empty dish!
placed neatly besides the empty dish是定语,
修饰there be结构的主语two nickels and five pennies ,her tip是主语的同位语.
可以翻译成：“在那只空盘子的旁边,她的两镍币零五便士的小费正整齐地摆着.”
