单选题
Despite recent losses totaling millions of dollars, Bayside Construction ______ its shareholders the situation would be rectified in the near future.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】名词短语its shareholders是间接宾语，名词性从句the situation...in the near future是直接宾语，因此横线处应填入及物动词的主动语态。(A)assuring不能作全句的谓语，(D)was assured是被动语态，(C)have assured与主语的人称不一致。答案是(B)assured。
