问题 The newspaper did not mention the extent of the damage ______ by the fire.

选项 A、causing
B、to cause
C、caused
D、being caused

答案C

解析 本题测试过去分词做后置定语。过去分词做后置定语相当于一个定语从句,如:The girl named Lily is my roommate. 就等于:The girl who is named Lily is my roommate.英语中为表达得简便,通常用过去分词来代替这个定语从句,使语言更简洁。这也说明过去分词与先行词之间存在一个被动关系。所以C选项是正确答案。A选项错误,现在分词做定语通常表示主动关系,B选项用不定式表示目的或者将来会发生的动作,D选项表示正在进行的动作。所以A、B、D三选项均不符合题意。
