问题 The fact that the takings of the circus ______ not enough to cover the purchase of fodder for the animals during the first week frustrated all of us.

选项 A、being
B、is
C、was
D、were

答案 D

解析 主谓一致题。在英语中,有些名词是以-ings结尾的,这类名词常作复数用。如,takings(收入),belongings(所有物),clippings(锉屑),sweepings(垃圾)等。当这类名词作主语时,其谓语部分应使用复数形式,因此可排除B和C。分析句子结构可知,be动词是同位语分句中的谓语成分,因此可排除A。故D正确。
