Complete the following sentence with a (compound) word derived from the one given in bracket.
The power cut left the room in complete( ).(dark)
【正确答案】:DARKNESS
【题目解析】:
本题考查常见形容词的名词形式。
由in complete(此处无定冠词the)可知,空缺处应填名词,dark的名词形式为darkness意为“黑暗”。需要注意的是,dark本身也可做名词意为“黑暗”,但与in搭配结构为“in the dark”,而darkness与in搭配则为“in darkness”。cut在此处作名词意为“断开“,power cut意为”停电“。
句意:电源的断开使房间一片黑暗。
