问题 The fact that the takings of the circus ______ not enough to cover the purchase of fodder for the animals during the first week frustrated all of us.
选项 A、being
B、is
C、was
D、were
答案D
解析 主谓一致题。在英语中，有些名词是以-ings结尾的，这类名词常作复数用。如，takings(收入)，belongings(所有物)，clippings(锉屑)，sweepings(垃圾)等。当这类名词作主语时，其谓语部分应使用复数形式，因此可排除B和C。分析句子结构可知，be动词是同位语分句中的谓语成分，因此可排除A。故D正确。
