The picture ______ on the wall was painted by my grandfather.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. hanging

  1. Step 1: hanging 為現在分詞,修飾 picture,表示「正掛著的」,等於 which is hanging。
  2. Step 2: 句中已有動詞 was painted,所以空格不能再放一個完整的動詞(hangs、have hung),也不是不定詞 to hang 的用法。
Answer
hanging.
Why not the others: hangs、to hang、have hung不符合題意。
