one SC question

w_monkey

Baker was perhaps nto the most gifted soloist in the orchestra, but the conductor felt (what was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by) the passion with which he played the music.

a
b, what he lacked in technical skill was more than made up by
c, whatever was lacking in his technical skill was more than made up by
d, whatever he lack in technical skill was more than made up for by

Could you please explain me why the right answer is d

不会。等primefang斑竹来才行。

D is wrong. 他现在lack in technical skill 怎么可能被他以前的the passion 来弥补呢??
能不能再版对一下答案?

primefang

恕我直言，此题我一看完所有的选项就选了D, 关键是make up for = compensate, 补偿的意思，make up 是化妆的意思

raonx, 你指的”以前的the passion “ 实什么意思？

谢谢

raonx

指时态,lack in technical 用的是现在时 而was more than made up for 用的是过去时

raonx

qing请班主指教

primefang

raonx,  同意你对时态的解释，我想我们等w_monkey 出来先澄清是否把题目是否打正确了再讨论，你看呢

sorry, d:是 whatever he lacked in his technical skill was more than made up for by.                       同意 此观点：此题我一看完所有的选项就选了D, 关键是make up for = compensate, 补偿的意思，make up 是化妆的意思
