Question

worthy 当定语= worthwhile
Because American parents believe that knowledge leads to a meaningful life,they try to give youngsters many opportunities to develop skills and ___ interests.
A.worth B.worthy C.valuable D.worthwile “D“
为什么不先B worthy,worthy 不是可以当定语吗?就像以下的例句
This is a worthwhile book.
= This is a worthy book

Answer 1

worthwhile与worthy一样,既可作表语,又可作定语.表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做,一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解.用作表语时,可接动名词或动词不定式.
Helping old people is a worthwhile activity.
Thank you for your worthwhile suggestion.
worthy可作表语,也可作定语.作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”；用作表语时意思为“值得……的”、“应得到……的”,其后接of sth.,也可以后接to do sth
That is worthy of note. 那件事值得注意.
This phenomenon is worthy of being studied. 这种现象值得研究.
This behavior is worthy of praise.这是值得称赞的行为.
因为worthy,字面意思上,在你这道题里面,就没worthwhile合适
这里考察的是对worthy和worthwhile的含义的细微差别
worthy adj.应得某事物；值得做某事；可尊敬的；配得上的,相称的
worthwhile adj.值得做的；值得花时间的；有价值的；合算
显而易见,在interests前面,worthwhile更合适
