B.

C.
to support
D.
supported by
Đáp án: <p>to support</p>
Phương pháp giải:
Nhận thấy trước chỗ trống là một mệnh đề hoàn chỉnh “Hong Kong made significant investments in transportation infrastructure, constructing new roads, bridges, and airports”. Chỗ trống cần diễn tả mục đích của việc xây dựng những công trình giao thông này => sử dụng “to V” để chỉ mục đích.
Lời giải chi tiết:
A. that supporting: mà hỗ trợ => sai cấu trúc vì sau đại từ quan hệ “that” cần một động từ đã chia, không dùng “supporting” như vậy => sai
B. being supported: được hỗ trợ => dạng bị động V-ing không diễn tả được mục đích của việc xây dựng cơ sở hạ tầng => sai
C. to support: để hỗ trợ => “to V” diễn tả mục đích; việc xây dựng đường sá, cầu và sân bay nhằm hỗ trợ nền kinh tế đang phát triển => đúng
D. supported by: được hỗ trợ bởi => là cụm phân từ bị động, khiến “its growing economy” trở thành tác nhân hỗ trợ, không phù hợp với ý nghĩa của câu => sai
Câu hoàn chỉnh: After World War II, Hong Kong made significant investments in transportation infrastructure, constructing new roads, bridges, and airports to support its growing economy.
(Sau Chiến tranh thế giới thứ hai, Hong Kong đã đầu tư đáng kể vào cơ sở hạ tầng giao thông, xây dựng những con đường, cây cầu và sân bay mới để hỗ trợ nền kinh tế đang phát triển.)
