问题     Isabella Santorum, the fragile 3-year-old daughter of Rick Santorum, l.______
has pulled over again.
    She came down with pneumonia over the weekend, a frightening turn
of events given that Bella, as she is known, received a diagnosis of a fatally 2. ______
chromosomal disorder called Trisomy 18 shortly after her birth and has
lived longer than most babies born with the illness. About two weeks after
her birth, doctors sent her home from the hospital on hospice care, which is
usually preserved for the end of life, not the beginning. 3. ______
    Bella’s condition is a constant challenge for the entire family,
especially for Mr. Santorum’s wife, Karen, and their six other children.
    But her health issues present another kind of challenge to Mr. Santorum. As
a presidential candidate, he is constantly traveling and might devote 4. ______
considerate time and energy to his campaign. Yet he is still a father. And 5. ______
ultimately, voters may judge him on both of his roles — as a candidate and a parent.
    By chance, Mr. Santorum was already with his family when he and his wife
noticed that Bella had fallen illness; he had returned home from the campaign 6. ______
trail to retrieve his tax information. But politically, the timing is awkward, 7. ______
Despite his victory in the Iowa caucuses, Mr. Santorum has not come close to
winning everywhere else and is trailing badly in the polls for the Florida primary, 8. ______
He has been trying to beat back rumors he is aiming for the vice-presidential slot 9. ______
or that he will quit the race and urge his conservative supporters to back Newt
Gingrich in effort to stop the more moderate Mitt Romney. 10.______
选项
答案is——was
解析 本题为时态误用。根据句子的意思，Isabella Santorum退出总统竞选的时机不佳，是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
