[简答题]Correct one error in each of the following sentences.


It's difficult for him to tell the difference between true praise and flattering statements making only to gain his favor.

正确答案:

It's difficult for him to tell the difference between true praise and flattering statements made only to gain his favor.

题目解析

本题考查分词作后置定语。句子中的making only to gain his favor是修饰前面的flattering statements,又因为这些奉承的话是被人说出来大的,所以应该是被动语态,这里应该用过去分词。所以要把making改为made。

句意:他很难区分真正的赞扬和只为了得到他的好感的奉承的话。
