选项 A、inhabit
B、live
C、reside
D、lodge

答案A

解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。空格处填入动词,其宾语是the temple(庙宇),其逻辑主语是who替代的名词 god(神)。选项中的四个动词为近义词,都可表示"居住",但能够作及物动词的只有inhabit(居住在,栖息于),是正确项。其它项意为"居住"时都只能作不及物动词,如live in a house(住在一所房子里)。This family has resided in this city for 60 years.(这个家族住在本城已有60年了)。lodged at a friend’s house.(我寄住在一个朋友家里)。live也可作及物动词,后面接同源宾语,意为"(以某种方式)生活,过日子",如She lived a simple life.(她过着简约的生活)。
