He was afraid that the branch might bend over and break, and he would be sent _____ to the ground.

A. crashing      B. throwing      C. rushing      D. dropping

A. crashing  


解析:

crash(to the ground)猛跌(到地上)。Crash n.

常指飞机等的“失事”,如:He was killed in an aircraft crash.(他在飞机失事中丧生。)本句中用falling不妥,fall指“落下,掉下”,本身并不强调落下的速度,而crash使“猛跌”,故本题用crashing最佳。
