语法与词汇 8.When the sentence "We are paying close attention to young consumers." is turned into passive voice, which of the following is CORRECT?

A、 Close attention is being paid to young consumers.
B、 Close attention is being paid by us.
C、 Young consumers are being paid close attention.
D、 Young consumers are paid close attention to.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】被动语态。 “动词+名词+介词”类的动词比较特别，其被动态有两种形式。其一，把“动词+名词+介词”作为整体看待，也就是作为一个及物动词看待，故C项句尾少了介词to；其二，把其中的“动词+名词”作及物动词+宾语的结构对待，故A项正确。注意D项的错误在于现在进行体的被动式的结构使用。
