Question

The manager was worried about the press conference his assistant ____ in his place but,luckily everything was going on smoothly.
A.gave B.gives C.was giving D.had given
give in one's place 就是代替某人的意思?
give in 除了放弃
为什么用过去进行时
那过去时 和过去完成时为什么不行?

Answer 1

首先,时态问题,这里的but前后时态一致,后面是was going 那前面就应该是was giving
这里的give就是“举办”的意思,in his place是个完整词组,不能当give in 来理解,断句错误
所以选C
