—Yes. He often uses that______ look to frighten them.

C.frightening; frightened D.frightening; frightening

Answer

D

【解析】

考查形容词-ed和-ing辨析。句意：——他（表情）看起来很吓人，孩子们也很害怕。——是的。他经常用那种令人感到害怕的表情吓唬他们。frightened感到害怕的（人做主语）；frightening令人感到害怕的（物作主语）。分析句子可知，根据“the kids are really scared.”可知，他看起来令人害怕。第二空frighten的逻辑主语是look（表情），所以用frightening修饰。故选D项。
