语法与词汇 19.Founded around 1075 , the Acoma pueblo is considered______settlement in the United States.

A、 the oldest continuously occupied
B、 occupied continuously the oldest
C、 the oldest occupied continuously
D、 continuously the oldest occupied

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】本题考查定语的顺序。分析句子可知，空格处为名词settlement的定语，其顺序应为定冠词the在最前，oldest为最高级，紧跟定冠词后；副词continuously修饰的是过去分词occupied，而不是名词settlement，所以放在动词前；过去分词occupied表示被修饰名词的状态，放在最后，故答案为[A]项。
