Question

The Thinker，head in hand，resting his right arm on his left knee，gained its current title when________in Paris in 1890.

A．exhibiting  B．exhibited

C．was exhibited  D．being exhibited

Answer 1

B　考查非谓语动词。分析题干可知，exhibit和句子主语The Thinker之间是动宾关系，因此用过去分词。when exhibited是when it was exhibited的省略句。A项表示主动含义；C项作谓语动词，而此处不能用谓语动词；D项表示正在发生的动作，不合题意。
