单选题 Whitman wrote Leaves of Grass as a tribute(赞颂) to the Civil War soldiers who (had laid) on the battlefields and (whom) he (had seen) (while serving) as an army nurse.

A. had laid
B. whom
C. had seen
D. while serving

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】将A选项had laid改为had lain。lie意为“躺卧”时，其变化规则为lay, lain, lying；lie意为“撒谎”时，其变化规则为lied, lied, lying；lay意为“放下，安排”时，其变化规则为laid, laid, laying，请注意区别。该句译文是“惠特曼写了《草叶集》以作为对那些他在当军中护士时见过的、在南北战争中安息在战场上的战士们的赞颂”。
