Q19:

After several years of rapid growth, the healthy care company became one of the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area, while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals.

 

1. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to
2. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to
3. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying
4. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
5. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying                                         Answer: E

我选的是C，it 的省略应该不是关键吧，那么就在its上了?

1。请问fall的用法是什么啊？ 这题是fall in doing 吗？ 我只知道fall in sth 的说阿~~ 

2。C改为 falling months behind in its payment to 对吗？

while可以做转折的状语从句连词使用,只是和but强调的部分不同.而这里需要强调后半句.failing其实是伴随while引到的从句,但是分词表伴随时首先修饰主句的动词,用but可以表并列结构

主语相同可省略

prove只能用主动表被动,没有被动形式.

payment不能用to表对象,只能用of.paying可做名词使用

这句话正确与否和prove无关

主要是  pay的用法

in its payment to 是awkward的说法

in its paying表示了一个动作

所以选E

同意楼上的，prove在这是系动词，不是被动语态。另外补充一点，paying放在its的后面，表明它是名词，所以后面需要一个介词，表示出paying的对象。所以C错了。

我的理解:这里的proved是系动词,与became平行.

while表对比或:当...时候,这里显然都不合适;

两个动作的主语相同,重复主语it多余.

关于fall.查了词典,也就知道fall behind (with/on)sth.,

这里的proved是被动语态吗，还是与became平行的过去式。

but then后面应该跟完整句子啊，为什么可以省略it was呢

假如用C，则需要完整谓语结构，那么该句为 while it then was proved unable.........
如E 省略了 (it was)
