Chỗ trống (6)
Đáp án: <p>was born</p>
Phương pháp giải:
Dựa vào mốc thời gian và địa điểm cụ thể “on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa”, nhận thấy câu nói về ngày sinh của Elon Musk. Ta sử dụng cấu trúc “be born” mang nghĩa “được sinh ra”.
Lời giải chi tiết:
A. bears: sinh, mang, chịu đựng => sai vì đây là động từ ở dạng chủ động, không dùng để diễn tả một người được sinh ra.
B. born: được sinh ra => sai vì “born” phải đi với động từ “be” trong cấu trúc “be born”.
C. was born: được sinh ra => đúng vì “was born” là cấu trúc phù hợp để nói về thời gian và nơi sinh của một người trong quá khứ => chọn C.
D. was bear: sai cấu trúc => sau “was” không sử dụng động từ nguyên thể “bear” để tạo cấu trúc mang nghĩa “được sinh ra”.
Câu hoàn chỉnh: Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.
(Elon Musk sinh ngày 28 tháng 6 năm 1971 tại Pretoria, Nam Phi.)
