He ______to swim across the Channel, but they failed because of the terrible weather.


  1. A.
    succeeded
  2. B.
    managed
  3. C.
    attempted
  4. D.
    thought
C
attempt指試圖做某事，不一定做成。句意為: 他試圖游過海峽, 但由于天氣失敗了。manage指經(jīng)過困難而“設法對付”含有達到目的之意。 succeed和 think的結(jié)構分別為： succeed in doing sth , think sb to be…，后面夠不能接不定式。
