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

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

A


解析:

考查动词词义辨析。.crash(to the ground)猛跌(到地上)。Crash n.

常指飞机等的“失事”,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。
