Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one(s) given in bracket.
The farmer ( ) to beat the boy if he came into the field to steal vegetables again.(threat)
【正确答案】:THREATENED
【题目解析】:
本题考查的是常用名词的动词形式。
the farmer为句子主语,to beat为不定式,说明空缺处为谓语动词,threat的动词为threaten(威胁),分析时态,从句为过去时,所以填threatened。
句意:农夫威胁说,如果男孩再到田里去偷蔬菜,他就会揍他。
