All morning as she waited for the medical report from the doctor, her nervousness _____.

A. has grown        B. is growing       C. grew        D. had grown

试题答案

C

解析:

grow与as从句里的wait发生。 题干前半句为时间状语，提供了极为重要的时间线索：All morning as she waited…，表示了过去的一段延续时间，本空之中动词所表示的行为（her nervousness “grow”）与此同时进行。此处仍应使用一般过去时。

本题中与现在时间相关的两个选项(A. has grown B is growing)很容易排除；D项（had grown）过去完成时态，应用于表示过去特定时间之前的行为，与语境不符，也可排除。
