选项

答案 Giving — Given

解析 given一词后接名词词组可表示“考虑到,鉴于……”,相当于because of,due to,例如:Given the uncertainty over Leigh’s future I was left with little other choice.此处不能用giving来替换。另外须注意区分give和provide两词的-ed分词和一ing分词的区别:given和giving是不可替换的,然而provided和providing却可以,如:The other banks arevery eager to help,provided/providing that they see that he has a specific plan.
