What is the purpose of people to have Thanksgiving Day?
People set aside the day each year for______to God for our blessings.
On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings.
Legend has it that the first English settlers in Massachusetts started the custom. According to the story, the Pilgrims—as they were called—gave thanks for having survived the terrible winter of 1621 and for having harvested their first summer crop. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties of the land.
The traditional foods of the big Thanksgiving Day meal include roast turkey, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and Indian bread pudding.
Since the day was set aside for giving thanks, it has also become a traditional family day. Large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special day.
选项
答案
giving thanks
解析
根据原文开头部分The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings.可知庆祝此日的目的是give thanks。根据题干中所填词在for后面作宾语可知,give应变为现在分词形式。因此,总结出答案是giving thanks。
