Chỗ trống (7)
Đáp án: <p>While he was attending</p>
Phương pháp giải:
Dựa vào ngữ cảnh diễn tả một hành động đang diễn ra trong quá khứ và cấu trúc “While + S + was/were + V-ing”, nhận thấy chỗ trống cần một mệnh đề ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Lời giải chi tiết:
A. While was attending: trong khi đang theo học => sai vì sau “while” thiếu chủ ngữ trước “was attending”.
B. While he was attending: trong khi anh ấy đang theo học => đúng vì có cấu trúc “While + S + was + V-ing”, diễn tả hành động đang diễn ra trong quá khứ => chọn B.
C. While he attending: trong khi anh ấy đang theo học => sai vì thiếu động từ “was” trước V-ing “attending”.
D. While he was attended: trong khi anh ấy được tham dự/theo học => sai vì “was attended” là cấu trúc bị động, không phù hợp với nghĩa chủ động “anh ấy đang theo học”.
Câu hoàn chỉnh: While he was attending Queen's University in Ontario, Canada in 1995, he was already thinking about his next steps.
(Trong khi đang theo học tại Đại học Queen's ở Ontario, Canada vào năm 1995, ông đã bắt đầu suy nghĩ về những bước đi tiếp theo của mình.)
