单选题
His only wish, before he passed away, ______.poverty of the underdeveloped areas has been put into reality step by step now.
[A] eliminating
[B] eliminated
[C] was to eliminate
[D] to eliminate
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】非谓语动词题。从句子整体结构可以看出,该句的主语是wish,而谓语部分是has been put into reality, eliminate应该是非谓语动词,用来修饰主语wish,因此可以排除[C]。eliminate和wish又不是被动关系,因此排除[B]。而当被修饰的名词前有序数词或是only、last等限定词时,其后的修饰成分如果是动词,那么通常使用该动词的不定式,表示目的。故[D]正确。
